He was a really good goalie and apparently very humble which makes him a better person.

Peters was in goal in the semifinal of the 84 Canada Cup against the USSR and let only 2 goals in. After getting blown out in the 1981 Canada Cup final that game was of an utmost importance to Canada, especially after 3:6 loss in the preliminary round. Thank you for the win, Pete!

Pete Peeters...that’s a name from the past for kids obsessed with hockey in the 80’s like I was. That’s a great little factoid that he shared about Gretz using the glass to find the trailers....he was unreal. I am so thankful that my childhood coincided with the career of Wayne Gretzky.

Love this series of videos. This is hockey from my era. Great stuff.

I remember watching this game in Edmonton on CITV Television. The Host, Tim Spelecy suggested at the beginning of the game that Gretzky might score 5 goals to make it to 50. I thought that he was crazy.....

I was at the game and I took pictures with my little camera, they turned out great!

Gretzky had 58 assists during that streak wich is phyco and never mentioned. 108 points in 39 games. Gretzky focused on goals , still made sure his teammates got goals during the streak. Very unselfish

Later that season, Gretzky and his OIlers teammates went into the playoffs and were booted out in the first round by the Kings. The following season, Glen Sather reduced Gretzky's ice time from 26 minutes per game to 22 minutes, because the goal was to win the Stanley Cup, not set individual records, and Sather had found out that Gretzky was worn down going into the 1982 playoffs.

@@jamesbarrett3149 You don't get it, maybe never will. Personal stats are for contract time. In 1971 Boston had 33 new team and individual records. In game 7 when it counted, 38 year old Jean Beliveau collected 3 points while in their prime at age 23 Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito were on the ice. Orr and Esposito would break new scoring records while Beliveau would raise his 10th Stanley Cup. Jean never played 35 minutes a game. Nor did he tell Yvonne Cornoyer or J.C. Tremblay hey pass me the puck and I will take all the glory and meet my contract bonus clause. Yes Ken Dryden played a role but in Boston's end that's back checking. In wartime it's a plus and minus to rely on the Bismark because everyone is gunning for you. Orr's knees took a major beating going up the middle all the time instead of passing it off. Jean, Yvonne, and J.C. could all put the puck in the net making it much harder to defend against. That's why the Canadians in that period is the best ever. And a leader who gets it. One day you might too. The best is who leads while producing. Everyone is amazed at Tim Brady's 7 Super Bowls. Well he needs 3 more to catch Jean Beliveau. Bobby Hull also won more scoring titles but then watched Jean hoist the cup that year. Leadership raises cups too. 10 times for Jean.

The goal tending was the most pathetic. These clips are frankly embarrassing to watch. Of course every player had a chance to score against these stiffs but Gretsky scored the most, I get it.

Nobkdy in today's game would ever come close to 200 points even though u can argue the players are much better todau

Other players literally let Gretzky skate around with the puck like the little kids do on the odr the big kids are supposed to let the little 5 year old score. No body hit him.
