If we didn't have 2018, I'd still claim we just as if not more cursed than the Leafs. Thank goodness 2018 happened.

Like, if I were the GM I wouldn't even be able to make eye contact with him. He's gonna ask for McDavid money and term. If they win a cup, he will probably get it, but if not it's gonna be interesting.

TIL he isn't even the highest paid on the team what a steal.
That guy has been top 3 best all around players in the league in the last 3 years.

Im not a Hockey fan, but I do root for the Bruins during playoff season and have had a passing interest when I was younger watching Gretzky. My buddy was also a huge Avalanche fan in the mid to late 90's and would try to get me to watch. NHL 94 was a baller game too.
Anyway, I was bored looking up NHL records and stats today.
Wayne Gretzky's career stat wise is fucking unbelievable. No wonder why he was picked for sportsman of the decade in the 80's. Gretzky was more dominant in Hockey than Jordan was in Basketball IMO. How the fuck did he win, what 8 straight MVPS? He had 11 straight seasons of 100 plus assists, and FOUR 200 plus point campaigns. He scored NINETY TWO fucking goals in a single season in 85 86 I believe?
And on top of all that he was not even a big imposing guy, nor was he fast. He could barely bench press 140 lbs, and was listed at 172 bs. So he wasnt having success because of physical attributes. And I know nothing of the NHL really, this is just from memory watching Sportscenter highlights in the 90s and looking up his stats. Actually watching the guy dominate during the 80's must have been something else.

None of those Gretzky stats compares to the 2 craziest ones in my mind. Even if you took away his 894 goals (the most all time), he'd still have more points than any other player in history on assists alone. And the 2nd is fewest games to reach 1,000 points scored, only he did it twice:
Just ridiculous.
Also Montreal taking the 1-0 lead in the 2nd here is the best thing that could happen for this game.
