Almost absolutely sniped Georgiev far side the next shift too, off the post however.

Honestly, good for him. It was really sad for awhile, but it seems like he’s snapped out of his funk.

Dude has more goals in his last 6 than I thought he would get the rest of the season.

I could see him booking together a big offseason and scoring 30 next season.

Continuing the long and storied tradition of Hfboards thinking Ovi is done and then he comes roaring back

LOL at all the pens fans and other chumps writing him off!

He had a long all-star break. Must have healed something up. He is moving better.

But will he burn any villages?

I mean it’s time for some multi goal games

He came about 1 inch away from that happening just now to tie it up.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Now 58 goals away from tying the record.

Dang, got beaten again by nice picture.
Is LeTangerine the best player ever to wear #58?

OV sets up his office again, pads powerplay record to 305.

 

[BallardEra]

8 goals in his first 43 games.

6 goals in his last 6 games.

He was in Dubai riding Camels with his family!

I have a feeling that he will get * in *. I'm not going to say it because I don't want to jinx him, but I think some ppl might know what numbers I might be thinking of(there 2 of them, but it may not happen but it would have some irony if either scenario happened).

OV showing Crosby how Letang has a mature man beard, which is something Crosby can't have! LOL

Looked like he was never gonna pass 10 goals this season, now I can see him flirting with 30 by the end of the season.

The Gretzky record is likely set in stone if he reaches 30 goals this season.

Do you mean you think the Gretzky record is set in stone if OV doesn't get 16 more goals to end with 30 for the season? If OV finishes with 30 goals this season, he will be 42 back to tie Gretzky. After this season, OV still has 2 years left on his contract. He would then only need 21 per season to tie.

 

[BB79]

How many Ovechkin score in 3on3 or 4on4 overtime though? I imagine it's significant number. Gretzky never had that advantage.

To be fair, Gretzky also played many years in an era before the butterfly goalie and teams put up football scores every night.

Yes, this sounds pretty much set in stone to me

OV intends to finish out his contract. If he is in reach within 10 goals of Gretzky after his contract extension comes to an end(him reaching age 40), I bet ya OV signs a special 1 year deal to try to match Gretzky/or surpass him by one more goal and then retires when ever he reaches 895(I would love to see him retire with 899!).

That has been going on since 2010 pretty much. I myself have fallen into that pit several times.
