2024 2025 Around the League Part 2

We are 100% sure that wasn't tipped, right?

This is what I was thinking too

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Stopping the game is overkill but glad they did

Honestly shocked this record broke

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Is this father in law ? Uncle or brother lol

Stopping the game for a ceremony is very weird. They should be doing this next game in Washington.

In honour of @LOFIN I suggest we discuss Ovechkin every day for the next 895 days

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

They all boo Buttman

 

[the_fan]

Congrats to Ovi!!!!

They aren't gonna change it now

Yeah probably true.

I think Wilson gave up his stick and gloves for assisting ?

I was saying Boo-ettman!

It is, but this also happened when Gretzky broke Howe's record.

Granted, if I'm not mistaken he broke it against the Oilers in Edmonton so it was a lot more sentimental.

I wonder if they scheduled this game early so Gretz would be half way sober.

 

[sethro109]

Ovie handed over his gloves, stick and helmet.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Ovie handed over his gloves, stick and helmet.

Ya which makes sense of course but I thought Wilson did the same. Probably saving it for himself which is cool imo.

I think most everyone in the building and watching on TV was for this moment, to see Ovechkin get 895.

I didn't know they did that.

Mrs Ovechkin is fine btw

 

[MacKaRtin]

Funny story, I met him very briefly when he was an 18 year old playing for Dynamo Moscow. He was such a physical specimen back then, played so intensely

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Mrs Ovechkin is fine btw

All I could think of

 

[Metallo]

Amazing that he could do it this year after breaking his leg. What a laser for the record! Love Ovi and his passion for the game!

Meh, it's not something that is about to be done anytime soon I think. Might as well.

Batshit crazy, too.

The fact that Ovechkin has been able to stay healthy for basically the entirety of his career, even when playing a rough game, is a serious feat. I think this injury was his biggest absence so far in his career, so that should tell you something.

If it wasn't for the lockouts and COVID, he would have a 1000 goals. Truly remarkable talent.
