Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894

[Misery74]

Watching every game, you can see he has been getting more comfortable. Lately, he’s been more unlucky than anything else.

30 goals absolutely in reach this year.

 

[kaiser matias]

1176 when 3 seasons in WHA included.

He only played the one season in the WHA.

And his total was 1076.

1176 when 3 seasons in WHA included.

So, it turns out that you counted one WHA season three times. But you can still redeem yourself by adding Gretsky's goals he scored in junior hockey leagues to his total.

Mistakes happen even to the best of us. All good.

This is wonderful! You are like a walking stats encyclopedia. But is it somehow supposed to tarnish Ovi's achievements?

no not at all.
being second to Wayne should stand as record on its own.
passing Gordie Howe instantly makes him a legend. ( if he wasn't already)

Ovi said himself that if he ends up being second, it would still be good. Being second only to Wayne is, indeed, legendary.

Jamison Coyle from NHL Network looks silly when was joking about 82 game against CBJ

66 goals to pass Gretzkys record!



Man I love this player

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

If his slow start was just that and not a sign of decline, he could still get to 30 this year (23 in 48 games) and then 43 next year he'd have the record with 1 more year on his contract still. Not going to count him out. Alex Ovechkin, Rafael Nadal, these are the types of guys who you should absolutely never ever count out. Wouldn't surprise me to see Ovi come back next year and score 50 even with how poorly he has produced this year so far.

He's absolutely declined. He can't keep up with his linemates. His shot is still elite, but so was Kessels even while he was getting scratched.

Do you know that Ovechkin leads the Caps in points ?

If anyone declined to a point where he needs to consider retirement, it’s Kuznetsov

Kessel scratched? Avatar fits

 

[Randyne]

Top 5 LW all-time by assists (Top 14 among all wingers).

 

[andrjusha]

63G to catch G1

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

NUMBER 9 FOR GREAT 8!

Kidding I’m hoping he breaks the record. Although honestly with the time missed from the lockout plus Covid I already consider him the greatest goal scorer of all time

 

[Video Nasty]

Ah, the monthly bump.

 

[wetcoast]

Ah, the monthly bump.

He might still hot 20 this year...it could happen.

He moved up to a tie for 181st in goals this year today.
