He’s trying to claw the Caps into playoffs with basically the rest of their top 6 absent the entire season.

Strome's played pretty well and so was Mantha while he was here. Wilson's done his share too.
Isn’t he 54 goals behind Gretzky, meaning he’s 55 from the record?
You know players don't tank, right? You really think the coach tells them all to just f*** around and not bother trying so they can lose games and get a better draft position?Idk man, doing the math on time missed for Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Oshie, and Wilson - and now Mantha gone as well - fairly remarkable that they’re right there in the playoff mix. Management treated the deadline as a complete rebuild and still they refuse to try to secure a high draft pick.
Yep.You know players don't tank, right? You really think the coach tells them all to just f*** around and not bother trying so they can lose games and get a better draft position?

Funny how you both got it wrong.Isn’t he 54 goals behind Gretzky, and 55 from the record?

It is not 53, it is not 55.
He is 54 goals away to break the record
I have to reassess it when I come back home from Massachusetts but I do think you're right about the sole possession. Ovi has been good amassing that many and I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge how much it impresses me and even the missus, the old lass. I guess what has defined him is the blissful lack of classlessness, he sure is an utter success in his profession.It is still 53 goals to reach the record and become the greatest goal scorer of all time. 54 gives him sole possession of the record.
Ovechkin will not become the greatest goal scorer of all time (obviously a subjective thing, anyway) the moment he reaches goal 895. If he is the greatest of all time, then he already is. Nothing a player does at Ovechkin's stage in his career is important to their 'ranking'.It is still 53 goals to reach the record and become the greatest goal scorer of all time.

What Ovi's reaching 895 would be is a nice media-hype for the NHL – a chance for it to be on the top of sports' broadcasts around the world and on the front-page of sports news worldwide. But it doesn't make Ovechkin a better hockey player.
Didn't realize Capitals can move back into a playoff spot tonight with a win
