I had always thought Mario Lemieux was the most prolific goal scorer in NHL history because of his career GPA average, but after reading wikipedia, it turns out #99 actually was the fastest to 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 goals, and had the higher career GPG average until he started playing far more games than Lemieux in his post prime years. Gretzky in fact got to goal number 600 in one less game! It just boggles my mind to think that the guy who scored more assists than anyone else had total points in history, was still able to somehow be the fastest goal scorer in every category....amazing!
