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.

Per radio interview with Capitals coach this morning:

“This isn't something where his season is ending, I think week-to-week is pretty accurate. I think our doctors want to see him and assess the injury, and then we'll go from there."

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

He's not unique in this regard but I'm pretty sure he's played through some things over the years.

People may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

One can't help to speculate if this injury could've been avoided if Ovechkin would take his physical fitness seriously. I mean look at that gut and those twigs that Ovechkin calls legs. Imagine if he hit the gym on a regular basis. Martin St Louis had legs like these when he was Ovechkin's age:

A injury like this wouldn't be so serious if Ovechkin had legs like that...

According to Norwegian radio, Ovie will return in early January 2068. He will be placed in his favorite spot for his one timers in a wheelchair , to make sure he takes the record and play 60 min every game.

You are so right

And they didn't? What century is this? They travel there by stagecoach?

MSL was short though Mulletman.

On him that knee would have been a headshot.

Man has legendary longevity and durability, here comes Mulletman with the equally legendary bad take. Always on brand, it's why I love you
