The Great Podcast + NHL Legend Wayne Gretzky | The Steam Room

It’s HOT in the Steam Room as Ernie and Charles tip off Season 3 with none other than Wayne Gretzky. The Great One talks everything from his new gig at the NHL on TNT desk, Alexander Ovechkin’s record chase and his short stint on the basketball court. Charles doesn’t hold back on his thoughts surrounding Ben Simmons & Kyrie Irving. Chuck’s Answering Machine makes its return with even more spontaneity and sincerity.

For those who don’t know much about Gretzky he won his 10 scoring titles by an average of 49 points. He won eight consecutive Hart Trophies as league MVP. If he never scored a single goal, he’d still easily be the NHL’s all-time leader in points. He holds like 60 records in the NHL. Crazy guy

[@briankoski817]

Yup... #99's stats are crazy. It's gonna be interesting if #8 Ovi's goals are going to be enough to pass The Great One... We all know that #99's assist record is gonna be tough to beat for decades to come, if ever. Enjoy! .... And like they said at 10:00... No player has the combined goals & assist points to even equal just Gretzky's assist points total. Yet...

[@briankoski817]

1,963 total assists by Gretzky. 1,921 total points by the next closest player, Jaromir Jagr... Gretzky has 3,239 total points in the regular season plus all of his playoff games. It's f'n incredible. Enjoy!
