After their first 8 seasons:


Gretzky - 543 goals in 632 games

0.859 goals per game

If Gretzky maintained that pace over his entire 1487 career games: 1,277.6 goals.

Actual total: 894



Ovechkin - 371 goals in 601 games

0.617 goals per game

If Ovechkin maintained that pace over his 1462 career games: 902.5 goals.

Actual total: 877


Gretzky had a 172 goal after their first 8 seasons.

Gretzky first few years there were a lot old vets just about on the way out and youngsters brought in...so stats can be deceiving plus the goaltenders were pretty tiny like Dustin Wolf with few behemoths like in todays NHL

Gotta check myself on the main board when a Canadian starts to nit pick re: Ovi. F it if they don't like it. He's going to pass Wayne. Whether it's the same # of games, more or fewer - IT DOESN'T MATTER. Record will be his.

 

[BallardEra]

49 goals in his last 74 games going back to last season.

These totals are from January 27, 2024 until today. January 27 was when he started to turn his season around.

Gretzky's birthday is January 26.
