It's crazy how you get the feeling that the closer he gets to 894, the more you hear people saying that he either won't do it or they don't want him to do it.

Like some people on main board saying he will score 20 goals or under this season. That makes no sense unless he has a major injury.

Here is a look at most goals for age 39 season:

How the hell did Shane Doan score 28 goals when he was 39??

Meh.

Man hits 47. 900

Then it will be “does he come back for another year to push it??”.

It shall be written.

"Ovi is not a good captain"

About goals that he "should have" but don't ... I'm mad at NJD for not pulling their goalie in the last game of the Cup winning season. Ovi should have his 50th.

Through 6 games this season he has the exact same stats that he had last season after 6 games.

2 goals, 3 assists and +1

He only scored 5 goals in his first 29 games last season.

To the eye test, he looks way better to start this season. Coaches still working out the best lines and trying to fix the PP. Once that is sorted out the goals will come. Also, the McMichael / PLD / Wilson line will pull the oppositions best checking line and open up even more space for him. Look for Ovie to get stronger as the season progresses.

Second line is getting first line minutes!
