Rocket Richard set the standard with 50 goals in 50 games back in 1944-45 and Mike Bossy equaled it in 1980-81, but the following year, Gretzky obliterated the record, scoring 50 goals in just 39 games.<br /><br />He set the record by scoring five goals in this game against the Philadelphia Flyers (love those long pants). This clip shows all five goals, including the record-setting empty-netter.
