This is my 802nd post in HF in 14 yrs, a bit slower rate than OV. Trying to provide interesting perspective on fellow Russian and Fairfax, VA neighbor's achievements. (Visited his home twice and bumping into him once a year on average)
I hereby vow to post only in this thread, each post # matching OVs goal. Will try to provide interesting/important statistical tidbit. Will see if I can pace myself and hopefully russian machine will not break
Have a happy New Year!

The craziest thing on the list has to be Sebastian Aho. 18th all time in empty net goals while entering the NHL after McDavid. 12.4 % of his goals are empty net goals. Just 1 empty net goal behind Messier who played the 3rd most games in NHL history!
He also, you know, got older.Gretz padded his stats in high scoring 80's... then his numbers went down drastically in 90's.
That's harsh truth most people here won't like
Let’s see if McDavid is still putting up 150pt paces in his 30’s
People accused him of being on the juice when he scored 65 goals. I only joke, I can’t wait for him to break the record and it’s happening 100% 2 seasons from now.

He passed some of it off to Matthews and Uncle Gary is making sure that Ovie, Sid and Geno are being taken "care" of under his watch..

With his 803rd goal OV pulled ahead of Joe Sakic and is now 10th all-time in Goals Created.
Goals Created is hockey-reference stat which tries to improve on simple/traditional/naive Points stat which gives equal weight to Goals, Primary Assists and Secondary Assists. Not everyone likes it, but it is one of the ways to account for goals importance. If you follow this thread, you probably suspect that Goals are (more) important.

Here are NHL top-20 in Goals Created and Points. Lets pretend to do a blind test, both lists have flaws, but which list is closer to your offensive top-20 ranking?
PS As of this moment OV and his buddy are tied for 17th in points.

Yikes, you Crosby fans are pretty disgusting

Even if it broke and he was forced to play on one leg, he’d still catch Gretzky. It would just delay the inevitable
Above all else, it would be just & fair, and that is what many are rooting for. The goals record should definitely stay with Gretzky.
It would be an embarrassment for the sport of hockey if a person like that were to hold that (or any other meaningful) record.

Barring injury he’s a lock for 900, possibly 950. Just insane
As a 90’s baby I really started following hockey the year before the lockout and especially more so during Crosby and Ovie’s rookie year in 05-06. I feel so lucky to have followed both their careers so closely during the years I was obsessed with hockey, 2 livings legends side by side on the all time points list…

You know what's truly embarrassing? It's when people don't have a life and can't get off the political propaganda needle.Above all else, it would be just & fair, and that is what many are rooting for. The goals record should definitely stay with Gretzky.
With goal #803, Alex Ovechkin is Sergei Federov goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky.
