4th Presidents trophyBesides recognizing best goals scorers only in 1999 with Rocket Richard trophy,
I find it ridiculous that Presidents Trophy was introduced by NHL only in 1986.
People count regular season stats, award individual trophies, but still largely disregard teams success in Regular season, only getting excited when bubble/underdog team is making playoffs. This is still a NA sports "tradition"/anachronism.
Anyway, OV is working on his 4th Presidents trophy with Caps.
From active superstars, I think only MacK/Makar, Kane, Barkov and Kuch have 1.
I wonder which players have 4 or more, I could only think of Datsyuk with 4, is there any less famous Red Wing with 4+? I do not think any other teams have 4 Presidents Trophies.
ya, on pace for 54.5/82 this year. Insane.Yeah most likely he breaks it in October. Nobody, and I mean nobody thought he would score 50+ this year. What an alien.
8 goals in 15 games is .533 goals per game for a 43.7 goal pace over 82 games.8 in 15 games? It's going to be close. I think he will be short 1 or 2 goals by the end of the season.
Would be dope he beats the record for last game against Penguins on April 17th against Crosby.8 goals in 15 games is .533 goals per game for a 43.7 goal pace over 82 games.
This season he has 34 goals in 51 games for .666 goals per game and a 54.7 goal pace over 82 games.
Since returning from injury he has 19 goals in 33 games for .576 goals per game which is a 47.2 goal pace over 82 games.
He also has 57 goals in his last 87 games played going back to last season.
Would be particularly fitting, as he scored his first (and second) goal in the NHL against CBJ.My prediction is CBJ
During his last 15 games of the season that he's played over 19 season, ovechkin has only failed to score at least 8 goals 5 times. He's scored 8 goals or more 14 times. And Ovechkin is usually better when he's comming up on a huge milestone. Plus there's plenty of weak opponents to take advantage of. It would be really surprising if Ovechkin plays all 15 games and still falls short, but it seems like there's still some jobbers around here doubting Ovechkin.8 goals in 15 games is .533 goals per game for a 43.7 goal pace over 82 games.
This season he has 34 goals in 51 games for .666 goals per game and a 54.7 goal pace over 82 games.
Since returning from injury he has 19 goals in 33 games for .576 goals per game which is a 47.2 goal pace over 82 games.
He also has 57 goals in his last 87 games played going back to last season.
It would be even more fitting if he were to break glass with a hit besides breaking the record against CBJ. It would be a riot.Would be particularly fitting, as he scored his first (and second) goal in the NHL against CBJ.
I feel like he'll tie the record this season, but not break it. It would make for a fun off-season, just a little bit of media hype leading into next year.
8 goals in 15 games is .533 goals per game for a 43.7 goal pace over 82 games.

Other factors too can come into play as he gets closer.This season he's scoring at a higher clip than the clip he needs to score at in his last 15 games to break the record. He's been scoring at a higher clip than he needs in the last 15 since returning from injury as well.
However, with so few games left, a three or four game goal drought can really screw things up. If he goes four in a row without a goal, he'll need 8 in the other 11 to break the record this year. That's a tall order down the stretch. On the other hand, if he has a stretch of four goals in four games, he'll only need four in the other 11 he has left and will basically be guaranteed to get there barring injury.
