Ovechkin milestone thread - 800 and Beyond!

[the valiant effort]

Should the record count even if the league’s dmen and goalies suck ****? Hurr durr

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ovy!

Effort play baby

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It’s legitimately impressive how he continues to produce.

Absolutely not! Goalies and dmen were MUCH better in the 80s

 

[Auston Marlander]

Since we know it's happening this year, I hope it happens in the Caps clinching game as the GWG

Ovechkin at 39 years old: 4 goals back of SECOND place in the NHL, despite missing 41% of the season so far.

Spectacular.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

22 goals away

Ovi looking to claim one of those “on pace for” Harts they were handing out a couple decades back.

I hope Ovy hits a mega hot streak and wins the Rocket again

 

[Monsieur Miz]

At this point it's the hunt to 1000 goals.

Dude is unstoppable.

 

[Andy]

That magnificent son of a bitch is gonna do it. What a beauty

Ovechkin with goal #872 today and needs 23 goals in his last 43 games to hit 895.

He has 19 goals in 23 games this season and 42 goals in his last 59 games overall.

Very possible he breaks it this season if he stays healthy.

Knubes! Haven’t thought about him in a little while, that takes me back

 

[Calderon]

Joke's on you. I have him in my daily bedtime prayers. Double deuce never lose!

 

[CanadienShark]

I was laughed at when I said he would break the record this year. Now it's a legit possibility despite the injury. Go Ovi!

You mean a “Crosby” award?

 

[Blades of Steel]

Wayne's record is cooked

 

[BallardEra]

Hilarious how the tracker moves from 24 to 23 after the goal:

 

[TheBeard]

I hope Ovy hits a mega hot streak and wins the Rocket again

So, you mean just normal Ovi hockey?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

So, you mean just normal Ovi hockey?

But with even more empty nets!

 

[Ghost of Murph]

What a joke. Padding his assist stats with an assist from his knees on the empty netter. So selfish.

 

[stephenball]

It’s just crazy that this 40 year old would almost certainly be leading the league in goals (maybe by a decent margin) if he didn’t get injured.

 

[pezpunk]

Another GWG as well.
