How many goals for Ovechkin this season?

[AhosDatsyukian]

47 to sit on 900 going into likely his final year in the NHL. Still maintain that if he wants to he could hit 1000, but he will choose to not play that long in the NHL.

 

[um]

What exactly is it you think they have sacrificed?

Kuznetsov! Mantha! Orlov!

Look at all the young studs that have left the team.

-Young studs

-Kuznetzov, Mantha, Orlov

Pick one.

40-45 seems reasonable, provided he stays healthy. Would love to see him hit 50 at his age. Dude is a machine.

 

[TimeZone]

24 goals

 

[eojsmada]

40+. He'll be motivated (and have a better team) to not have the slow first half he did, last year.

 

[ManofSteel55]

25 - 30. But Ovi has proven to be one of a kind, so he could smash the old guy scoring record.

 

[Muggs]

35

Man was that really called for...I looked it up and now I'm going to have nightmares.

To others don't look it up.

thanks

Funny thing about people going with the caps are wasting years letting ovi go for the record is that even if that were true (it’s not) what is the alternative? A rebuild is usually 4-8 years. Sabres, canadiens, blackhawks and a bunch of other teams are already 3 plus years into theirs. You could argue the caps are at least 2 years into one. Ovi is their all time franchise player. Were they supposed to say F off 3 years ago? Crosby will be allowed to play in Pittsburgh until HE doesn’t want to anymore and it will look the same. The team will try to remain competitive for him as he deserves. I just don’t understand what the naysayers think the alternative was to letting ovi play as long as he wants with whatever goal in mind while trying to be competitive. If anything they have done a pretty good job of getting younger while keeping ovi happy

 

[BLNY]

30.

I think he’s pretty washed and the playoffs showed that. He can go through the motions and hit 25 still but he will be a total black hole most of the time he’s on the ice.

 

[carjackmalone]

Maybe Ovechkin and Dubois click?

Best case scenario in this regard 40-45 goals

Last season he didn’t have any proper centres

I stocked up on his rookie cards so hoping he can break the record- seeing PLD on the Caps though is going to make that hill a little tougher to climb IMO.

That's a pretty hefty stock if you got a bunch of his Young Gun PSA 10s

 

[topseed]

I'd be surprised if he cracks 30. Not saying he couldn't as he has shown multiple times that he still has it, but he definitely is falling off a cliff.

 

[TJHKY]

I will put 43. To get the record done this year!

Leads team in goals and PPG at age 38.

Your post is gibberish.

 

[Video Nasty]

Hope anything short of death or a crippling injury occur to prevent him breaking the record.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I'd love to see him prove everyone wrong one last time and pot 50 goals, but gut says it'll be more or less like last season.

All I hope is that he stays healthy. He's so close, it would be so annoying to start missing games now.

Father Time is undefeated.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

29 goals...they'll staple him to the top of the circle for every PP so he doesn't even have to move and keep feeding him over and over

Dude is slowing down and will probably lose time from being injured.
