Ovechkin milestone thread - 850 and Beyond!

[RANDOMH3RO]

It’s weird that ovechkin is still a 30 goal 60 point winger at age 39 and some people are acting like he’s an embarrassment to the league. Was very close to leading his team in scoring last year and somehow made the playoffs. Caps will probably score a few more and give up a few more goals this season, but probably be in the mix in the metro again. I would expect 25-30 for ovechkin this year.

Its even sadder when a player is still effective in his late 30’s and yet still gets accused of playing for the sake of the record. He scored over 30 last year. Thats a career high for most players in the last 100 years of hockey. Its just a ridiculous argument. People are trying to take away from something that they may never see again.

I guess people can go back and look at the video and make up their own mind about it and I'm not even talking about the playoffs here.

He is going to break the record but posts saying that he was an "effective player:"last year.......I guess you could be Ovi's mom?

What's weird to me is that they do it here, in a thread dedicated to his accomplishments. I get that not everyone is going to like him, but why trash him in this of all threads?

Heck, wetcoast alone has clearly spent hundreds of hours monitoring and responding to this thread just to trash Ovie. Get a life!
