Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894 (Continued)

Man, he might actually do it this year. Amazing. An unassailable all-timer a la Barry Bonds.

So OV scored his 148th first goal of the game, all time leader ahead of Jagr with 135.

What is mind boggling is how low Gretz is on that list, he is #35 with only 85, one behind Rick Nash.
At first I thought it is some stats issue, eg not counting some early seasons, but it looks accurate. I wonder why so low, did he usually take his sweet time to score in a game or what? Were Oilers so dominant/rounded that 1G was scored "by committee"?
Why??? :huh::huh::huh:
