Looking back at Gretzky's 50 goals in 39 games
On Dec. 30, 1981 Wayne Gretzky did the unthinkable.
He hit the 50-goal plateau in just his 39th game of the season for the Edmonton Oilers.
Prior to that, no player had registered 50 goals in fewer than 50 games -- something both Mike Bossy and Maurice Richard had accomplished.
30 years later, Gretzky believes scoring 50 goals in 39 games is the most impressive of all his records.
"People ask me all the time about my records, but to me, that's my favourite," Gretzky
