Gretzke scored most of goals when the league was watered down. There were expansions, minor league goal tenders were in the net, many defensemen were also on minor league caliber.
It was common to have 8 to 5, or 10 to 7 cames. If he played during the original six days, he would have been good, but he would not look so pretty today. When the european invasion happened in the NHL, then the defenses and goaltending started to tighten up. You can't go by Gretzke stats, it was a time of some very weak teams. It was so bad, it wasn't even fun to watch.
