Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894

[M2Beezy]

What a one timer goal!!!!!

 

[Dibbs31]

Dude always hurting the team with these goals. #804

 

[Some Other Flame]

Once pace for 50 goals again at age 37

Utterly ridiculous

 

[Fantomas]

Remember when the haters were only recently freaking out about Ovechkin's plus/minus?

 

[Video Nasty]

Truly seems inevitable at this point. 24 goals in 39 games at 37 is remarkable. Even if he slows in the second half, another 20 goals at minimum seems realistic for 2022-2023. Probably more like 25.

There’s a reasonable outside chance he’s breaking the goals record before the calendar turns to 2025.

Stunning to think this record could fall in just two years time from today.

Eller didn't help with that atrocious giveaway on the second Caufield goal.

 

[Calderon]

What's the status of All Star game this season? I haven't seen any chatter. Wonder if Ovi will once again skip it and sustain a one game penalty for it.

Boom

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Sick shot. Keep it on!

 

[filinski77]

That goal is a textbook example of why it’s so silly when certain posters here try to downplay Ovechkins goal scoring because of his shot totals.

Rarely anyone else in the league can make that shot from that distance.

 

[slapKing]

Wait, Ovie passed Crosby on the all time points list lol

These two always pass each other.

With the Caps trying to claw their way into a playoff spot, not a chance Ovi misses the ASG. They need him out there every single night.

 

[canuckking1]

I actually think he has a shot at the rocket. Every player ahead of him currently has never hit 50 goals in their careers. Mcdavid is probably the toughest competitor with his current lead and ability.

Name a more iconic duo.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Just wow. 5th best player all time.

Show up. Stretch like a MFer. Drift around at 50%. Smile. Go home.

Hes now in 4th in the league, at age 37, this is f***ing crazy

Man I love this player

He probably will skip again. 3 on 3 hockey is too taxing for him now.

no chance of him catching mcdavid... but finishing 2nd with 50 goals is a real possibility.

Too bad that thread was closed. Would have been nice to post there now He has improved from “-14” to “-1” in a month and a half.

Kovacevic lucky he didn’t end up blocking that laser beam with his ass.
