Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 4)

[895]

If he does it in Pittsburgh do people cheer or what?

If we've learned anything, it's don't doubt the old man

the reality of it getting closer is pretty amazing

going to be special (in a way) as 880/885/890 and goal 30/35/40 happen; just about every goal is setting a new record in some category it seems

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I really hope he does it at home. Crazy how close we are getting.

I went to a Nats game during the Barry Bonds record chase. I experienced what I can only describe as a "booing ovation" after Bonds hit a HR.

I would think they would I mean I remember Grezky chasing down Howe in those last 5 games until he finally did. But if they did boo it would be entertaining also.

Imagine if he does it in Pittsburgh on an ENG. Their heads would explode as if he was Clayton Bigsby.

Well imagine him intentionally not scoring an empty net goal that would be lame also.

Ovechkin leads the NHL in G/60 and ESG/60. He is 6th in P/60. +22 rating is 16th in the NHL.

The coaching staff is doing a tremendous job managing his minutes so he can be efficient.

 

[BallardEra]

He's now second in goals for most ever in an age 39 season:

54 goals in his last 80 games.

11 goals left with 22 games to go.

 

[BallardEra]

• 903

900 goals in 1500 games or less would be pretty cool too and equates to a .60 goals per game pace.

49.2 goals average over 82 games.

I’d rather it be a couple games later vs the canes. Let them see what a franchise player is really like. There are some other teams on the road that would be neat, but at home just feels right. Especially since the cup win was in Vegas

Ovechkin uses Gretzky chase for cancer funding

Every goal scored by Alex Ovechkin for the rest of his career will raise funds toward pediatric cancer research.

I have tickets to the 3/30 game… in a suite. Got them as a gift back in November.

I will be drinking at unreasonable amount of beers if I’m in attendance and Ovi breaks the record.

Ironically so will Ovie

I want this to happen, with Crosby ("accidently") passing it up for him to get a walk-in goal to EN. Then directly dropping his gloves to congratulate Ovie.

1-5 Ovechkin (Crosby-Malkin) EN
