With Gretzky on the verge of tying Phil Esposito's single season record of 76 goals, the Oilers rolled into Detroit to play the Red Wings on February 21, 1982. Esposito and a hoard of media were in attendance. Gretzky did not disappoint them or his fans and registered a five-point night, including his record tying 76th goal coming at 16:34 of the third period. Although he did not break the record until the Oilers' very next game in Buffalo, this goal still stands as a very significant milestone in NHL and Wayne Gretzky history. Offered here is the game program from that night, signed on the front cover by Wayne Gretzky with a vintage letter of provenance from a Detroit staffer attesting to the date of the signature.
