Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894 (Continued)

[Devil Dancer]

As for Ovechkin, the goal I remember more than others is the one he scored while falling on his ass. Otherwise, Ovechkin's career looks like a really big flip-book of goals scored from his 'office'.

He didn't even work in that office until Adam Oates put him there half way through his career.

Just checked the Caps home game tickets for the last 3 games of the season, they all start at $130 already

The last home game is against Columbus which Ovechkin also scored his first 2 career goals. I would allow him to score his record breaking goal against Columbus too

I'm banking on the away game in Columbus while eye balling tickets with my dad. We were both at game 1 where he scored 2 hoping we can witness 895

I'm disappointed that the injury likely cost him sole possession of having the most 50 goal season of all time (and possibly winning another Richard). It would have been one of the most legendary late-career seasons of all time.

You and me both….that was a big prize also.

Here are some half-decent goals.

Top-4 are pure filth!

Indeed, and if it was the playoffs he probably would've missed high and wide.

So much for your "best effort to remain objective". It only lasted one post

It would only be fitting for him to break the record on an empty neck goal

Against the Pens in the last game of the season.

Top-4 are pure filth!

It's easy to forget how incredible he was in his prime, just an absolute force of nature.

Odds he signs another contract in the NHL?

Think low to non-existent. Rumored he'd like to finish up back home in the KHL.

i remember at the time thinking that the most dynamic, smashing, all around awesome line would be Ovechkin - Forsberg - Lindros. (ya Lindros is a center)

It was a huge thing at the time for me to think that of Ovie because the other two were so jaw-dropping at their best.

Just a mad, rabid Rottweiler of a player. Only ever seen so many TRULY talented big guys play that hard, haphazard even.

Imagine if he breaks the record and wins the cup this season

I know people have said (many times) in here that it would be hilarious if he broke the record with an empty net goal.

But it really wouldn't. Imagine that being the history making, record breaking video clip? Awful.

It really doesn't matter at this point does it?
