I'm only saying that when a record stands for 100 years it's a good sign the game has changed drastically and it likely won't ever be toppled. Like Gretzky's records that he himself has said aren't good measures of today's players because he never had to deal with backside pressure when he played. But yes, relative to his era he was insane.
