[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1797016, member: 26283"] Big one in hockey - Bobby Orr. He retired in 1979 as the all-time leader in scoring for defensemen with 915. Still 11th on the list to this day. He scored all but 45 of those points before his 27th birthday when knee injuries ruined the last three years of his career and forced his retirement before turning 31. There’s an alternate universe where he’s healthy for another decade and it’s his record that Gretzky eventually beats and not Howe’s. [/QUOTE]
