I think most people expected him to drop off to ~20 goals/season and for this to take at least another season if not two... crazy to think it could happen in the next month or so. |
GTFO with this bullshit. He's the greatest goal scorer of all time. And nobody comes close. He's a unwaivering machine and puts Gretsky's hockey scoring to shame. Put him in the 80's, with the rules they had, and he'd have exploded for 1200 goals.
