Ovi only needs three more to make history. A hat trick worth of goals. And he's playing against a team currently sitting 2nd worst in the league.

Win or lose, let's not be the team to be that footnote in history.

No word on rosters right now, will update thread later when that info is available.

Reminder that, assuming Strome is playing, a certain someone here is gonna be unbearable, so feel free to set that particular user on ignore until after the game is over. The sound of silence is a million times better than all the 'generational' glazing that'll take place.

Edit: Expected Hawks Lineup

Donato - Bedard - Mikheyev
Teravainen - Nazar - Bertuzzi
Slaggert - Moore - Kurashev
Foligno - Veleno - Maroon

Vlasic - Rinzel
Kaiser - Levshunov
Korchinski - Murphy

Knight

Capitals Expected Lineup:
Not Gretzky - Kings Cap Dump - Tom Hanks' Volleyball
Pro Ass - Musto's Muse - Leonardo
Man in Pain - Elder - McDonald's
Do You Aim? - Well in Dowd - Vegetable and Former Hawk

Sanding - Son of Carl
Chick Running - JVR's Brother
Variable - NYI Coach

I can see him getting at least one goal tonight (maybe an empty netter)... I can't see him wanting to break the record on an empty netter, though.

I can't believe he has 39 goals at 39 years of age. The entire league couldn't figure out how to stop that one timer that he's probably scored upwards of 500 goals with. I'd like to know the real number of him scoring the exact same way with that offside one-timer.

No can defend.

What’s even more insane is had he not gotten inured he’d be on a 54 goal pace for this season over 82 games. Incredible season for him.

I think whats more incredible than anything, is that he missed 82 games because of the lockout in 2004-2005, missed 34 games in 2012-13 because of the lockout, 14 games in 2019-20 and another 26 games in 2020-21 because of Covid. He would have passed the record a couple of years ago if not for all that missed time.

I’ve always wondered if those long missed stretches of games allowed his body to recover allowing for such a long career.

I don't want Ovi to get it tonight. Only because it mean the Hawks D and/or whoever starts in goal, had a really good game. To me, that is more important then watching Ovi do his thing.

He was under contract in 04-05 and wasn't coming over but his staying power is bananas. He also turned from a game breaking threat off the rush to a pure sniper and he just kept filling the net.
 
Don't wanna be part of that history. Ovi can set it someplace else. Gonna be cool to see Moore, Rinzel, Nazar and Leonard reunited. And I'm sure Leonard will definitely be giving them the business.

Fair enough, I wasn't as into the behind the scenes of hockey back then as I am now so didn't know that.
 
Reichel closing the door on his roster spot next year. Thats a really don't give a shit move on his part to have that happen when you're likely on the outside looking in

People are gonna remember Ovi just breaking the record in general a lot more than the team he did it against.

Does it really even matter if he does it vs us or say a good team like Winnipeg? Don’t care or see a difference really.

If you listen to Vlasic’s interviews, this is not shocking in the slightest.
which one? never took Reichel as a dont give af guy given his age and the lack of competition at forward on this roster, prime opportunity to establish himself and get consistent toi

He also missed being in the 2003 draft by a week or so as well due to his birthday
