Ovie's chase reminds me so much of Hank Aaron in 1973, who was 39 that year too. Aaron started that season 41 home runs behind Babe Ruth's 714. He hit 40 that summer to finish one short, had to wait until the following April to pass the Bambino. Ovie's on pace to take a good run at the record this season.

Cannot believe Ovechkin man
Just wow

Of all years to have another heater of all heaters and it's his age 39 season in the midst of breaking a once thought unbreakable Gretzky record
But not just any record
The GOAL record
I'm in total awe being able to see this

You would think he'd be dying down, maybe a couple 20g , 17g seasons, creeping to the record, hoping he makes it at 41 or 42 or something

But if he scores 40-50 goals at this age, to pass 894 and create the 900 Goal club I mean..
Hats off big guy, rooting for you BIGtime

Honestly that is how I want him to do it. Before this season I was like, meh, he may do 2 seasons to get the 40 goals he needed, kinda boring really, but this is exciting and out of this world :)
