Wayne Gretsky had a remarkable season where he scored 92 goals in one season. It set the record for most goals in a season and no one has shown the ability to ever reach that again. Then, Alexander Ovechkin joined the league in 2004. The 6'2" Left Wing from Russia has scoring ability that hasn't been present since, well, Wayne Gretsky. So, this brings about a very interesting question. Will Ovechkin ever be able to break Gretsky's record? I say yes. If you ever get a chance to see him live, you can see the intensity he plays with and the level of talent he has. The only thing in his way will be a different kind of league than it was in the 80's. The defense is much better and Ovechkin will always be placed on a pedastal with Sydney Crosby. Overall, I think Ovechkin's skill will overcome and one day we will all witness one of the greates scoring seasons ever.
