No chance in the current day.
I saw Sittler at the bank 2 days ago. No way he could have scored 10 points in one game. It's a myth. The videos were outsourced and faked.
Highly unlikely for any one specific player. But if you say any player it increases the odds a bit. But the NHL will need to evolve offensively for their to be a chance even in perfect circumstances (in my view)
Poor guy. And Sittler's still telling that old joke at his expense, you all know it. Reece was so depressed after the game, he stepped in front of a bus. But it went between his legs. Imagine having to listen to that all your life.
Young Auston made $500,000 in Switzerland, a bit more than what OHL players make.
Regardless of the upcoming answers, nobody really knows. He looks very good, good size, good hands, good skating, and good instincts. Tons of upside but he has only played one game.
I think Don Cherry had a role in that too. Boston had their backup who was a call up from the minors. Instead of taking out the goalie, Cherry was saving his number 1 goalie for the next game that was the next night.
McDavid and Matthews are the next generation of NHL superstars. Time will tell though as to how great they will be.
Probably not the best time to ask after a 4 goal game. Opinions could understandably be skewed after this game. That being said last night's game merits all the appreciation he is getting today.
Gretzky had a great supporting cast for most of his career. Plus, my guess is that 5%-10% of his goals were empty netters.
Shack said it best. We will only know how good he is in retrospect with the careers of the great players. We can speculate on this as time passes and if he's still around.
