Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894 (Continued)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Some pretty good footage in this video. Goals you've seen before but from different angles:


Just the first three minutes or so has a pretty hilarious number of HoF-bound/decade defining goaltenders looking at him after scoring for the first time like "wait what?" before anyone really knew he was this kind of different.

funny stuff

21 to pass and 37 games counting tonight? Possible. Grab a two goal game here or there and suddenly it seems likely. This is like Cal Ripken chasing the iron man in baseball, Emmitt Smith passing the great Walter Payton... milestones that you didn't think could be broken.
