Hockey gods protecting 99’s records

In his career, how many serious injuries has Ovie had?

It blows that he got hurt during such a great stretch and while being so close to the record, but maybe that's where his age comes in.


McDavid was supposed to be out for a while and only missed three games (obviously he's a lot younger and in his prime). Hopefully Ovechkin won't be out too long. I want the record to be broken this year.

Just heard the Caps are contacting every zoo in the DC area to borrow a camel.

That will get him over the hump.
