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.

Ovechkin had a 525 goal head start on Matthews prior to Matthews entering the League.

For all the talk of goals to x age and such, since Matthews entered the League, he's only made up 30 goals on Ovechkin (3.33 goals per season). It's a daunting task to try and pass him even if Matthews aged really well and scoring doesn't go down.

Goals since 2016-17:
Matthews - 391
Draisaitl - 372
Ovechkin - 361
Pastrnak - 356
McDavid - 343
MacKinnon - 303
Point - 296
Rantanen - 291
Kucherov - 280
Aho - 278

Very impressive how Ovechkin has managed to hold his own amongst a very strong generation of young bucks.

Only 19 goals over 2nd (2.1G per season).
Ovechkin had 112 goals over 2nd in his first 9 years (12.4G per season):
Alex Ovechkin 422
Jarome Iginla 310
Ilya Kovalchuk 309
Dany Heatley 292
Patrick Marleau 284
Rick Nash 278
Eric Staal 278
Thomas Vanek 277
Marian Hossa 276
Sidney Crosby 274

Also Ovechkin was leading NHL by 41 points over 2nd.
Matthews is 9th with 311 points behind 1st (and 14 points behind on his own team).
They are on completely different tiers.

Gap between 1 and 2 in Ovechkin's first nine is almost equal to the gap between 1 and 10 in Matthews first nine.

Ovechkin is now the 10th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 ES points:

Presumably he'll pass Esposito before the end of the year.
