Play off goals

Gretz 122

OV 72

Playing in an era with falling down goaltenders alongside 64 Hall of Famers I would hope he has more.

If we're going down this road, we may as well lock up the boards for the next 20-30 years since any discussion is useless until the cyborg players come along in 2040.

I was being hyperbolic - the original post was unnecessary for this thread and trying to rain on the parade for no reason.

The guys who keep the stats we keep referring to.

He does. Wayne 122. OV 72. Gretz's teams managed to make it past the second round more than once.

I just saw that the game on Friday where Ovechkin might break the record is going to be shown on none other than NHL Network. So history might happen and more than 3 quarters of the country won't be able to see it unless they pirate the game through alternative means. God the NHL is so dumb. f*** the NHL, f*** thier f***ing network, and f*** Gary Bettmen for not doing anything about this.

Given that the topic of this thread is a regular season countdown, I'm going to ask you officially to get back on topic.

What's so special about Friday's game vs. Wednesday's game or Sunday's game, for example?

Sir, nobody is trying to argue Ovechkin is the greatest player of all-time.

Wayne played on an All-Star team in a league that was one-third smaller. Comparing playoff success is a tad unfair even acknowledging that the Capitals came up short a bunch.

Every single person in this thread celebrating Ovechkin's pursuit of this regular-season goals record is aware that 99 is the GOAT.

And why is he appearing to shoot right?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Just got funsies... For years, people claimed a belief that Ovie was actually several years older than he was listed/claimed to be.

Imagine if he was scoring at these rates at 41+ .

Well, those rumors are not too far-fetched. Can't believe how much grey hair he has for someone who isn't 40 yet. My wife & I are each closing in on 50 and the both of us put together wouldn't even be able to fill 1/4 of the white hairs he has.

It can happen. A friend in school had grey hairs from age 18 and apparently his uncle was full grey at 25.

Yeah, I know. My own paternal grandfather's head was entirely white by the time he was 30. Stress and gene expression. Just shocked at how grey Ovi is.

Steve Martin started going grey as early as 15 years old.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

What happens if he ties the record and the caps win the cup? Is he really gonna come back just for one goal?

I hope he stays long enough to reach 1k goals

Correct. Nobody is arguing. Either way.

point taken.
play offs dont count.

Well, Enrique Hernadez has same number of post season homeruns as Babe Ruth (15). Also, Robert Horry has more NBA title than Michael Jordan. All these prove absolutely nothing.

You trying to prove or disprove something.....I'm not.
