Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Passed some guy named Wayne, now NHL goalscoring leader (895 !!!)

[SkinsFan09]

Next goal and he'll have the most goals ever by a 39 year old surpassing Gordie Howe.

Jokes aside, I was thinking about it, what if he scores, they start the celebration ceremony only for the opposing team to issue a coach challenge that takes the goal back

Any coach that challenges that goal is gonna get jumped after the game lol

 

[M2Beezy]

Another day another goal. Three away baby

 

[ViD]

Thank God, there’s no Caps games in Canada, the political shenanigans with Wayne would be too much

 

[Woodrow]

Roy would have no problem challenging it and taking on everyone in parking lot.

 

[M2Beezy]

We are watching hockey history folks. Enjoying every minute of these countdown threads the last two years. Best thing for the sport is Ovi chasing the record. Ovi is such a beauty

 

[Mr Nogatco]

That’s one of the loudest crowd reactions I’ve heard for a visiting team

 

[Garbageyuk]

I hope when he breaks the record, he does the horse ride celly while simultaneously using his free hand to pop finger-gun shots into the air.

 

[BallardEra]

He’s now tied for the third place in the league in goals having missed 15 games

16 games to be exact.

Roy would have no problem challenging it and taking on everyone in parking lot.

he lost to Mike Vernon, though

 

[Ghost of Murph]

 

[TheLegend27]

He’ll break it as an overtime winner against Pittsburgh. Crosby falls on his knees as everyone celebrates.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

All our Dad's lost to Vernon.

 

[VaporTrail]

Anyone know if Wayne is attending Ovie's games now ?

 

[BallardEra]

He’ll break it as an overtime winner against Pittsburgh. Crosby falls on his knees as everyone celebrates.

He’ll be resting and not playing that night.

 

[ViD]

Anyone know if Wayne is attending Ovie's games now ?

Yes. He’s sitting next to Gary

 

[Some Other Flame]

Just a hat trick away

 

[deca guard]

Anyone know if Wayne is attending Ovie's games now ?

they said few weeks ago he n bettman would attend every game once ao got to within i think 5

 

[RDTBay4]

I hope he misses it by one.

 

[Kresnik]

0.60121049092 vs 0.60067340067
Goals per 82 games: 49.2992602554 vs 49.2552188549
894 vs 892 goals
Insane to say the least, followed Ovechkin since his first season.

 

[andrjusha]

Countdown down to two

OVI
OV <--
O

 

[kugelbahn]

OV for sure keeps suspense, 10 one-goal games since hat-trick.
Giving prolonged pleasure to fans and prolonged torture to haters

Completely different path to scoring glory than Gretz:
front loaded and scoring in bunches
vs
spread even for entire career and individual games

 

[LordBacon]

Guess I’m gonna be watching the caps-hawks game coming up next.

History is in the making folks, cherish it!

 

[Demandedace]

Kind of sad to see this coming to an end - the buildup over the last couple of years has been insane. The absolute drama of seeing him look like he may fall short last season until the allstar break, and then seeing him go down with a broken leg this season in the midst of one of his hottest streaks ever... You can't make this stuff up, in three goals it all ends though and that's gonna be a lot to take in

We've watched Ovi since his rookie year, 19 years later who would've thought we are witnesses to history.
