It's a bit of a cheat, but the "most assists one playoff period" (3) has been done 70 times, and five of them by Gretzky. Certainly numerous players are going to continue to match it in the years ahead, but will someone break it? Surely they will. 4 assists in a period doesn't seem out of reach.
But from the "real" Gretzky records (not ones he shares with a bunch of players), maybe the 13 points in the Finals? I mean, it won't be easy, but I can see in the near future if a player like Kucherov, McDavid, or the like were in a 7-game Final series where offense was high, it could happen.
Of the unofficial records, maybe the 4 times Gretzky led the NHL in even-strength goals? Take a young sniper like Matthews or Laine, and if they score a lot five-on-five and have a long career, I think that one could certainly fall.
NOTE: It's crazy that Gretzky had a 7-assist game in his 'rookie' season.

I was going to say the 15 OT assists record will surely fall, as guys like Crosby, Malkin, Kane are probably already in the ballpark. But turns out Sakic and Oates already broke it anyway.
Pretty much any of the single-game records should be broken eventually. Every night of the season provides dozens of players with the opportunity to break one, you just need one great night where every puck bounces your way. An 8-assist game is probably the most unreachable since nobody has ever done it in 100 years, but you have to figure one day it will occur.
Among the seasonal records, Ovechkin might have a puncher's chance at the 40-goal seasons record. He'd need four more to break it. He also needs four more 50-goal seasons to set that record, and could achieve one of those with a big finish to this season.
The longest assist streak is a somewhat modest 23 games. I don't think it's crazy to think that somebody like McDavid could put together a 24 game streak one day. It doesn't necessitate anything really spectacular, just show up and get an assist for two months.
The only career record that could conceivably fall is 894 goals. I still think Ovechkin's chances are quite remote, but just the fact that you can't dismiss his chances outright is pretty amazing. That discussion occurs annually, and it seemed almost silly even two years ago. But it has at least moved into the realm of non-ridiculous at this point. Ovechkin probably isn't worse than a 50/50 shot to reach 3rd all-time in goals.

Who has the record for most time leading the finals in scoring? I assume Gretzky or one of the legendary Canadians

Rarely talked about, Gretzky's playoff career assist record of a staggering 260 
is so dominant that only Messier has more than 139 (Bourque's 3rd place total) and Mess is closer to Raymond's than Wayne's total.
Put in perspective: Add the totals of Crosby, Malkin and Letang and you still come up short of Gretzky's 260 career playoff assists.
Patrick Kane has 73, the Sedin twins together don't even have 100.
Put the last nine playoff assist leaders' totals together and it still doesn't reach it.
It would take a guy who dominates a dynasty team for 4-5 seasons then is one of the leaders in deep playoff runs for the better part of another decade.
Gretz six times led the playoffs in assists in a higher scoring era, he having 5 of the top 6 ever single postseason totals (Mario had the other one).
Heck, since 1994 no one has had more than 22 (Malkin and Toews each had a league-leading 22 once). Can you imagine someone doing that in the playoffs in 12 postseasons in today's NHL?!

Speaks to how great he was. I can see some of them maybe broken but I doubt anyone touches the all time G, A or Pts totals.

That video is just utter nasty. 99 thought that entire sequence out before it even happened. He purposely went east/west so the defenders would come to him opening up a lane for Kurri to streak through. Then fires a completely blind pass knowing that his guy would go where he needed to be. It's easy to see his dominance on the stat sheet but clips like that just show you how advanced his knowledge of the game was and how quickly he thought everything out.

One of Gretzky's unofficial records — most times leading the league in shorthanded goals – seems like it should be beatable. He only did it 5 times, after all.
Except only two other players have even done it 3 times since 1963: Mario Lemieux and Steve Yzerman. Then you have a handful of people who did it twice: Marian Hossa, Mike Richards, Brian Rolston, Pavel Bure, Bobby Clarke...
So, I dunno, maybe that one's a lot harder to beat than it sounds at first glance.

Wikipedia isn't always the most accurate, because he definitely does NOT hold the record for most consecutive playoff appearances at 14. Robinson had 20 before Gretzky had 14. Lidstrom, Potvin also come to mind as players who have broken this. Yzerman even broke this record. So I don't get where that one comes from in the first place. Crosby and Malkin will likely break it too (if you don't count 2011 when they were both injured but the Pens still made the playoffs).
Anyway, the individual game records have a shot. Someone can have a really hot period in the playoffs and get 4 assists, or 5 points. Not crazy at all. Stuff like individual records in the finals might drop too, who knows. But I guarantee it would take a 7 game series. How will someone beat 47 points in a postseason? I can't see that dropping in my lifetime. Malkin is the closest in 25 years and he had 36 in 24 games. Gretzky got 47 in 18 games. I mean.............even when you adjust things for era it is still way better than what anyone can do. It is just insane.

That list isn't entirely accurate. "Highest goals-per-game average, one season: 1.18 in 1983–84, 87 goals in 74 games" is not correct. Joe Malole holds the record with 2.20 GPG.

So basically I figure the single season records are not going to drop. 92 goals, 163 assists and 215 points. All safe until the day we are all replaced by robots. Ovechkin in his prime got 65. Stamkos hit 60. I honestly think McDavid will start doing what Gretzky did after 1981 and score a lot more because he is shooting the puck more, and I can see him cracking 60 goals more than once but 92? If Mario didn't do it, who could?
Also, his career points are safe, as are his career assists. Heck, Jagr played until he was 90 and was still 900 points back. Plus he still has more assists than anyone else has points and Francis is 2nd on the assists list and he's 700 back. Actively only Joe Thornton has at least 1,000 and he's over 900 back.
My question is, can the career goals record be touched? Ovechkin hasn't really had that normal drop in goal production the way other all-time greats have once they are in their 30s. He is right now exactly 290 behind Gretzky. He has 46 goals this year (with two games left). Let's do the math. How many more 46 goal seasons (which is leading the NHL this year) does he need to pass Gretzky?
46 x 7 = 322. That gives him 926 goals for his career, beating Gretzky's 894. Basically he has to be putting up those totals when he's 35, 36, 37, 38 years old. All the way until 2025. Is Ovechkin playing hockey in 2025? Maybe, but he's not scoring 46 goals a year.
That is your best bet right now, Ovechkin. And even then he has to score at a torrid pace in his 30s to catch him by the time he's 39-40 years old.
Also, his career points are safe, as are his career assists. Heck, Jagr played until he was 90 and was still 900 points back.

It would be terribly wrong if someone broke Gretzky's regular season scoring record of 894, but not his assists and points records as well. All three have to be broken, or none!

No one is breaking 894. Ovechkin will get to 750 ish and fizzle out. Which is amazing in its own right if he gets to 750. Gretzky has almost 3000 points. That is just insane. Including Gretzkys first year in the WHA beleive he hits 3000 ! Record books would say here is your list of 1000 point men... then you turn the page here is your 3000 point man.

The biggest surprise was Clarke Gillies outscoring Wayne Gretzky in the 1984 SCF. Believe it or not, Gretzky was held to just one assist in the first three games (the Oilers won two). Then he gets two goals in game 4 and two goals and an assist in the decisive game 5 - for six points. Gillies got a hat trick in game 2, two goals in game 3, an assist in game 4, and two assists in game 5 - for eight points.

I think Gretzky had 7 points in '84. Two assists in game 3. So just 1 behind Gillies.

What were the Habs' lines in the late '50s? Did Geoffrion play on a line with Beliveau?

For '89, the source I'm looking at says MacInnis, Mullen, and Otto each with 8 points in the finals (Gilmour and Chelios each with 7) - you're seeing MacInnis with 9?

Per the Hockey Summary Project, in game 3, Gretzky only had one assist (on Anderson's goal). That being said, the HSP isn't perfect. What other goal does your source say?
That's what I have as well - two goals in game 1, an assist in game 2, an assist in game 3, a goal and an assist in game 4, an assist in game 5, and two assists in game 6.
I believe Geoffrion played with Beliveau, but there's nobody more qualified than @Canadiens1958 to answer that.

It's got a Gretzky assist on Semenko's goal, the final goal of the game.
And it's got MacInnis just 1 assist in game 6.
