No ones mentioned Tony O's 15 shutouts in his Rookie year, pretty impressive! However, my favorite has to be Orr's 139 points by a defenceman in 70-71! |

Bill Mosienko
Fastest hat trick in NHL history. In a 1952 game against the New York Rangers, Mosienko scored three goals in 21 seconds. 45 seconds later, he hit the post. |

If I am to say what the most incredible stat in hockey history is, I'll just say this...
Wayne Gretzky.
No need to pick a certain one. His name says it all, and all of the ones he owns, and by the amount he owns most of them by, is a great stat in its own! :P

Nashville Predators now have the distinct honor of being the only team in NHL history to give up a short handed goal in the last minute of a playoff game. Nice feat!! I know there is not a team out there that wants to try and take that record.

Definitely a powerful statistic. I think going to the finals for ten straight years (1951-1960) is even more stunning on their part! |

That Gretzky article was a nice read - it brings back memories of that time; I wish I could go back and relive them!
To the question at hand...
There seems to be perhaps 3 types of astonishing records to consider:
-- the single game record
-- the single season record
-- the career record
So here are my highlights for each category:
Sittler's single game of 10 points is obviously amazing - even he is the first to admit that not only did his one goal go in through sheer luck alone (was it the last one where he just threw it at Reece from the corner?) but he also says that something like that was both skill and good fortune combined. Neither Gretzky nor Lemieux could equal this accomplishment. This one is safe for a very long time. Perhaps until they make major rule changes to the entire sport simply to pump up scoring.
There are many single season performances to choose from. Although difficult to select just one, I am astonished by the 50 goals in 39 games before anyone had yet scored 30...capped by the 5 goal game to hit the 50 mark. Astonishing. But isn't 92 goals astonishing also? And 215 points? Tough to go with just one here, isn't it?
Career Record?? I can't decide between Hall's 500 straight complete games (not just starts, keep in mind) and Gretzky's nearly 3000 points. 3000 points in 20 seasons is 2 Hall of Fame careers put back-to-back. That's 1500 points for ten years, and then 1500 points for another ten years!! Gotta go with Gretzky on this one too. |

If he hadn't run into that shoulder injury which forced him to sit out 6 games and hampered his scoring ability, arguably resulting in the streak coming to an end, maybe he could have accomplished it! Amazing...
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1121668/index.htm
There are just so many "What ifs" with Gretzky, maybe more than even Lemieux. What if he hadn't been nailed by Suter in the 1991 Canada Cup, how many points would have have finished his career with? What if he had played all 80 games in 1984? How many points? 221? What if he had not left Edmonton? How many more scoring titles and Hart Trophies and Stanley Cups??? Would he have finished with well over a 1000 goals and 3000 points in regular season play? So many more... |

How about the numbers put up by the NHL's first true superstar, Joe Malone...
*7 goals in 1 game
*44 goals in a 20 game season
*over a span of 5 seasons, 142 goals in 96 games
Another early NHL star...George Hainsworth had 22 shutouts in 1928/29.
*******************************
I'm just trying to come up with some aside from the obvious choices, i mean it's hard to argue with the many impressive Gretzky stats...50 in 39....92g...163a....215pts...2857pts...etc
Dave Schultz had 472 penalty minutes in the 74/75 season for the Flyers! |

True, and as remarkable as that is, it still doesn't beat Gretzky's 2.77 ppg avergage in 83-84. |

You can look at so many of Gretzky's record but, the most mind boggling to me is his career points total, specifically his assists. He has the most goals of alltime, thats impressive, but look at the assists.
Imagine if Wayne Gretzky never scored a single goal in his NHL career. He would still be the alltime leader in points. |

Gretzky's 153 points in 51 games during his 51 game point scoring streak was more impressive. He averaged THREE points per game during that streak. His 1984 season was also more impressive, when he averaged 2.77 ppg but missed many games due to injury. That was really his best season, and would have finished with 222 points had he played every game!
Had Lemieux played all 80 games, going by his 2.67 ppg, he would have still fallen short of Gretzky's record 215 points. |

All Mentioned are incredible records.
I don't think Gretzky's assists or points in a season or any of his career stats will be broken. His goals in a season and 50 in 39 while are incredible I think Ovechkin could have a chance as much as I don't like him.
2 that I don't think will ever be broken. Selanne 76 goals as a rookie
and Bobby Orr + 124 in one season.
But the most incredible has to Be Gretzky's career stats
894 Goals
1963 Assists
2857 Points
For someone to break these records they would have to average
79 games played for basically 19 seasons
47 Goals
103 Assists
150 points
Never

Bernie Nichols getting 150 points, and 70 goals for the Kings. I mean, Bernie was a solid center, but it just goes to show u how much attention was spent on Gretz that year in LA to allow a decent center like Nichols to rack up such impressive numbers.

Actually gretzky retired with 60 records under his belt. He gained the 61st during retirement (which in itself is another record only player to gain a record while retired) the record he gained while retired was best ppg. After Lemiuex's somewhat succesful return from retirement his ppg dropped . |

Ya, that is an amazing number of records for one person to have. And not just that he still has them 10 years later, but that in 20 and 30 and 40 years he'll STILL have most of them, barring major changes to the game. Some of his records (a lot of the single season ones) are already 25 yrs old.

What about team statistics?
Three that come to mind for me are:
1. 76-77 Montreal Canadiens - only EIGHT losses in 80 games
2. 78-79 Boston Bruins - ELEVEN 20 goal scorers
3. 79-80 Philadelphia Flyers THIRTY FIVE games without a loss

Had to be good enough to start was what is required for an ironman streak . . . Hall definitely was well above that minimum requirementone, and was one of if not the best goalie for a large part of his streak. I never called Hall just good enough to start, if you read my post - I said that ironman streaks only required a player of that standard.
In terms of just being good enough to get inserted into the lineup (at times) Doug Jarvis at forward (964 games) is a prime example of that. So is baseball's Cal Ripken, who many argue should have been scratched many times due to his dwindling performance in later years.
I think the streak will never be broken by another goalie, but only because of the way the game has changed, and the money invested in each player.
