I can’t f***ing believe it Alexander Ovechkin is going to break Wayne Gretzky’s career goal record. The one record I did not expect to get broken.

Gretzky does still have 936 points more than #2 on the list, Jaromir Jagr.
936 points is the difference between #1 and #2... 936 points is a pretty darn good career by itself... our all-time points leader is Josi with 724.
Sidney Crosby is the closest active player to Gretzky in points... a mere 1,180 behind. Soooooo... if Crosby could keep up his career average of 1.24684 ppg, he'd only need 11 and a half more full seasons to catch Gretzky. He turns 38 this summer, so he'll be 49.5 when he catches him. IF he doesn't slow down or miss any time.
Crazy stuff. But if Phil Kessel can be the NHL's Iron Man, who's to say what will one day be possible.

Yeah and Gretzky's 215P in a single season will likely never be touched in the modern NHL. Closest in recent years was McDavid at 153P.Gretzky does still have 936 points more than #2 on the list, Jaromir Jagr.

Hey! We suck!
The goals record didn't surprise me much but they will need to completely change something for anyone to ever get close to total points.
I mean if Gretzky had concentrated on just scoring goals or had stayed in Edmonton, Ovi probably wouldn't have ever gotten close.

This column is Wayne Gretzky's season-by-season...
.... assists. He has more career assists than any other player has points.

I believe Kessel was usually among the top guys in physicals and he's not exactly a hitting type...or likely to receive them, so it's not really that surprising tbfCrazy stuff. But if Phil Kessel can be the NHL's Iron Man, who's to say what will one day be possible.
Good condition, not that much wear and tear = longevity

Really fitting that it was the most classic Ovechkin goal of all time. Truly incredible that he’s been in the league 20 years and he is still unstoppable there.

Not gonna lie I shed a bit of a tear on that one. Love great moments like this. NHL is pretty lucky to have a guy like Gretzky who knows his place in history and does what he should do.
