On this date back in 1989, Wayne Gretzky became the NHL's all-time leading scorer, surpassing Mr. Hockey himself, Gordie Howe (1,850). Apologies for the punny headline. Anyways, let's see if you're as slick as Gretz by answering these two trivia questions. (Highlight the areas underneath the questions to reveal the answers.)
1.) Against which team did "The Great One" achieve the milestone?
A: Edmonton. Yeah, I know. Who wrote this script, right?
2.) Who held the league's career points record before Howe?
A: Maurice Richard. That's "Rocket" to you, pally.
