Can Patty Beat Gretzky?

There is simply no way we would be 24 games into the season and someone could have predicted the season that Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane is having.  A single point in every game this season so far.  For all you benders out there who have no idea how hockey works, a point consists of either a goal, or an assist.  Kane’s point streak is now up to 24 after his late goal in last night’s game against the Nashville Predators.  With his exhausting off-season of dealing with an accusation of rape, which ended up being dropped by the prosecutor, relaxation is definitely not a word Kane has heard this year.

Now the single-handed question is can he beat WayneGretzky’s record of 51 games?  My opinion is simple.  No.  There’s just no way in my opinion that in today’s game of hockey that Patrick Kane can go 51 out of 82 games with recording a point.  Gretzky was a freak of nature during his tenure in the NHL, which is why the number is so high.  Today’s game is a little different, it’s not about the big hits and smash mouth play, instead rather about speed, quickness, and who’s putting up the best numbers.
