Alex Ovechkin - 500 Goals

[blundluntman]

As close to a lock as you can get for 900 at this point. Easy to forget with all his goal-scoring but he's also a ppg player at age 39. Call me crazy but I'm curious how close he gets to 1k if he decides to stick around another 3 years or so.

Yes, it's fun to go back 9 years.

 

[895]

Anytime you bump a 9 year old there will be bad takes.

I’m pleasantly surprised this thread didn’t have that many except one or two trolls.

Most people thought he could do it with some good injury luck and whatnot.

Good read
