I guess the key take-aways from this table is how rare it is that someone as old as Selanne and playing in the western conference scores so many goals for this stretch of time. I know his spot on this list is somewhat dependent on games played (Anaheim's postseason success), but even so--Selanne continues to produce despite his age and the games-played.
Look for me to say more about this in a follow-up post in the near future when I've got a little less liquor in me, but for now, know this: I could probably make this list down to the top 70 post-lockout goal-scorers before you'd find another guy who's even contemplating retirement right now.
