[AlexModvechkin8]

With goal #804, Alex Ovechkin was Joé Juneau goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky...

...but, with goal #805, Alex Ovechkin is now Alex Mogilny goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky.

 

[holy]

He’s smoking my team, but what a talent.

 

[Fantomas]

Happy New Year, wetcoast.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

And now with goal #806, Alex Ovechkin is Eric Lindros goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky.

HATTRICK THE GOAT

 

[Some Other Flame]

Bonkers

With 2 ES goals today 37Yr Old Ovechkin is now tied with Leon Draistial for 7th in the league in ES points.

PP specialist at it again!!

 

[max21]

At 37 years old he completely dominated the game tonight, it’s unbelievable

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Best goal scorer of all time and there is no argument against it

 

[Dibbs31]

None of the detractors will show their face this evening

This is without doubt the best NHL goal scorer. Man’s gonna score 50 this year and next.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I can't remember the last time Ovechkin just straight up skated around a dude for a goal like that.

 

[andrjusha]

Too bad OV does not play Canadian teams often, just three of them in his conference and he is absolutely feasting on them.
Against Tor, Ott, Mtl OV scored 114 goals in 163 games, a 57 goals pace.

I think question now is if Great Eight could beat Great One's record with a cherry on top: in fewer games.
OV has 174 games to go to score 88+ goals which is pace of 41 goals per season.
If he does it - he will be done with one year to spare on his contract.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I need definitive proof Ovechkin is a human being.

 

[DitchMarner]

I can't remember the last time Ovechkin just straight up skated around a dude for a goal like that.

Yeah, that was like a 2005-2009 Ovechkin goal right there.

As I was watching the play unfold, I was saying to someone that he's going to break Gretzky's record. The timing was great... haha.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

What's the joke with wetcoast?

 

[ricky0034]

Ovechkin's tied for 3rd in the league in goals now this year at 37 years old

1 goal behind 2nd

 

[Sombastate]

Not a single one of those players were drafted after 1984, for context.

 

[filinski77]

What's the joke with wetcoast?

He’s been coming in this thread consistently to make comments about how Ovechkin: is not a useful player anymore, hurts the Caps, doesn’t deserve the ice time he has, shoots too much, is only good on the powerplay etc.

 

[vippe]

What's the joke with wetcoast?

He's the recurring funny guy in this thread

 

[Calderon]

Wait, Ovie passed Crosby on the all time points list lol

These two always pass each other.

The last 12 games for both:

Sid 7+4=11 points; plus/minus -4

Ovi 13+7=20 points; plus/minus +14
