Ovechkin milestone thread - 850 and Beyond!

All time classic

I was at this game. Totally baked out of my mind. My buddy and I literally couldn’t believe what was happening. Wait, now Ovi is levitating backwards and flying into the net?! What even is reality?

Good times, lol. The young Ovi, that could really skate, is still unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

Not only could he skate, but he really was fast and he was an absolute freight train and hit everything in sight just because it was fun.

This guy was out of his mind and I know why so many people hated him (and used the convenient excuse that he was lazy) ...it was because he was usually destroying their favorite team or player by goals and hits.

on pace for 45 goals which if maintained over 82 games means he would have it this year.

I don't really expect Ovie, at 39, to maintain the pace necessary to break the record this year. But, frankly, he has made a career of breaking expectations.

The Caps final 2 games this year are in Pittsburgh and NY (Islanders). If I were fans of those teams and lived there, I'd be considering getting tickets for those games, just in case.

Wouldn't it be "something" if he hit or broke the record against the Pens, in Pittsburgh? Would be interesting to see whether he was applauded or booed.

To witness breaking the major record is once in a life improbable thing for the most of the true hockey fans = fans of the game (not just player fans). These kind of memories never fade.

Sincerely believe that majority of PIT fans will have enough class to appreciate the moment if it happens to be at PIT-WSH game.

The Caps PP has been pretty brutal for them this season.

No power play goals or patented one timers yet for him. He only has two PP assists.
