OOT Scoreboard 2024 25 Season Part II

It took forever. Like almost embarrassing.
not almost - it was. I was like why cut the net - his whole job is to guard the net now he's cutting it? And at that just cut a section of it out to fit in like a frame. WTF you gonna do with the entire netting? LOL. Take the whole damn net at that point and just pay for it.
 
From today. Devils fan that appreciates HISTORY.

I'm not trying to disparage Gretzky, but it is pretty insane that he didn't even score 100 goals in the last 5 years of his career.

But I think it was goal 700 that Ovechkin scored 5 years ago last month at Prudential Center. And we're now 195 goals later. And he even had that down year last season.

And he even lost about 35 or so games to covid between the 2020 pause and 2021 shortened season. Gretzky did lose about 36 games due to the 94 lockout?

It was. Saturday afternoon game. I had ST at the time I can say I witnessed a tiny bit of history. :)
 
I said I didn't see why people would care because some people online, not just in this fishbowl, were really digging their heals in on the idea that 895 being an ENG would somehow diminish the accomplishment. Surely since you read the thread you also saw where I said "Oh I would 100% rather it be a traditional goal for him but people were like oddly affected by it potentially being an ENG. Glad he agrees, blast a one timer through Sorokin and it'll be glorious."
Would you have a problem with it being an Eng for the record
 
Nobody seems to play enough games per season these days nor stays on teams good enough for a long period of time to make it happen so I don't
Two biggest things needed for the record to fall is starting out young enough and on a good team. Then moving to another good team. Maf proved that it’s doable the he starts at the window of the pens run then jumps to the knights. Figure if he doesn’t miss with covid he could be knocking on 600 wins. Doing this without playing 70 games in a season is a tremendous accomplishment.

Ovie breaking the record in the exact same amount of games played is insane. Holy smokes what a player, the best goal scorer in NHL history. Wow!

I believe someone already pointed this out on our board (or maybe on a different one), but Gretzky scored his 894th goal in his 1479th game and then went goalless in his last 8 GP.

Both doing it against the NYI is pretty wild.

Ovi also had a lot more shots on goal than Gretzky in the same amount of games, indicative of Gretzky's superior all-around role in the offense.
Ovi played against goalies. And his amount of goals is bigger part than what Gretzky have against Messier and co. (Backstrom and Green with Carlsson against Messier, Kurri, Coffey). Ovechkins role was much more superior, its funny to read. Anyway Gretzky was bigger player around the league at his peak. But the hockey change a lot - Euros are playing in league now and there were great rise in tech and development in this time. I would still put Gretzky ahead as a player(at his peak especially) but as a goal scorer - there are no questions. Answer is already there.

Surprise! Vitek still sucks with the Panthers. It’s just easier to have a 20 shot game there than it is in San Jose or even when he was here.

If they don’t win tonight in regulation they’re going to at least come very close to 4 weeks without a regulation win.

Even the Devils didn’t manage such a feat back in January.

There may still be enough season left for Ottawa to surpass them for third in the division and them dropping to the first wild card.
 
For as inflated as the Blue Jackets shooting percentage was they sure seem to get shutout A LOT. Second night in a row of being shutout. They had another stretch where they were shutout multiple games in a row not long ago.

For what it’s worth, the shooting percentage is now only just a couple points above league average.
