During the 1981-82 season, Gretzky scored an NHL record 92 goals. He played for four teams (Edmonton, Los Angeles, St. Louis and the New York Rangers) in his career, and the Oilers won five Stanley Cups, including four with Gretzky. That means 99 + 92 + 4 = 195. Divide 195 by 5 and you get 39. FOCUS. THAT'S THE WORD FOR TODAY'S GAME. FOCUS ON USING YOUR HOCKEY SKILLS. FOCUS ON YOUR GAME RESPONSIBILITIES. FOCUS ON YOUR BEST EFFORT. • I thought I was signing up for frozen yogurt, not frozen yoga. David Beaudoin Lewiston, Maine • It's called Frogger. You get down like this and hop across the ice.
