Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Countdown to 894

[CokenoPepsi]

Lol at people trying to write off Ovechkin again

 

[kaiser matias]

I am actually disappointed that Gretzky has the record and not Howe.
- Howe was a better goal-scorer than Gretzky, and Gretzky benefitted so much from having peaked in the most high-scoring period
- Howe in fact still has a legit claim to being the best goal-scorer ever (along with Ovechkin and Bobby Hull)
- Howe is so much underappreciated as a goal-scorer. If you ask people for their top5 goal-scorers ever, so many of them will not even mention Howe (yet somehow Bossy will appear on the list)
- Howe would have had the record, but he left for WHA, and his WHA goals count for 0 - and it isn't Howe's fault NHL paid s**t to their stars pre-WHA

Howe was retired for two years before he joined the WHA, so if anything he gained an extra 15 goals by going to the WHA and coming back to the NHL with the Whalers.

OV at the all-star break

 

[BallardEra]

8 goals in his first 43 games.
15 goals in his last 22 games.

Needs 7 in his last 14 games to hit 30.

 

[M2Beezy]

Heres this second goal from tonight!

YES!!!!!!

GO OVI GO!!!!!!

Man I love this player

 

[KCC]

8 goals in his first 43 games.
15 goals in his last 22 games.

Needs 7 in his last 14 games to hit 30.

Be wild if he actually hit that considering his awful first half. Every year he has slow parts of a season and people think he’s finished and he always figures it out. Lol

Would be awesome to see him get to 30. At that point it becomes realistic that he could potentially hit the record next season if he takes care of himself well.

I mean, Wayne was more of a playmaker clearly. Of course there were more talented goal scorers than him. Lemieux for example would have absolutely smashed the record if he could have stayed healthy. Probably would have hit 1000 goals. But Wayne holds the record so you’ll need to get over your disappointment champ. Lol

Camel therapy must have helped him to get over the hump.

Getting 30 would really help him. And I couldn’t agree more on taking care of himself. He needs to make some adjustments during his prep for the next season.

One more thing:
OV now leads his team Caps in goals, like he did in all previous 18 years.
Could be a record brewing, unless it already is,
Hard to check stat (unless @pnep runs his query)

 

[Zuluss]

Howe was retired for two years before he joined the WHA, so if anything he gained an extra 15 goals by going to the WHA and coming back to the NHL with the Whalers.

He did retire from NHL, but then, after a two-year break, he joined WHA and played 6 seasons there, scoring 174 goals. Apparently, it was just a matter of paying him enough.
The fact that those goals don't count at all is a bit frustrating.

 

[M2Beezy]

I still hope he fails to break Gretzky's record.

 

[Zuluss]

But Wayne holds the record so you’ll need to get over your disappointment champ. Lol

Now it feels more and more that Gretzky is just holding Ovechkin's goal-scoring crown waiting to pass it to him,

 

[LevelingSolo]

Ovechkin's 10-11 season was so weird

Was coming off 3 consecutive campaigns of 50+ then suddenly dropped to 32

I remember being worried he was losing his scoring touch then but of course he rebounded nicely the next decade

 

[BallardEra]

Ovechkin is now at 320 goals after the age of 30:

Gordie Howe has recorded the most career goals by a player older than 30, with 383 scored.

That year was when Boudreau/management tried shifting philosophy HARDCORE as an insane overreaction to the Montreal series. The team went into a weird defensive kind of system that got us shut out over ten times, it was ugly. Not only that, but that's when teams had started to "figure out" Ovi's main moves, so he had to adjust his playstyle - it's when his patented curl and drag while using a defenseman for a screen move started to lose a lot of its effectiveness

Off topic, but that's a hugely impressive result for Kopitar. I never would have guessed he'd be 3rd place all-time.

15? tied with Strome now

 

[Plural]

If Ovi "never will be" the "factually" best goal scorer of all time, who is? What criteria do you use to determine that? If he passes Wayne's record, that would mean he has the most goals of all time in addition to all of the era specific records that he holds as well, plus number of rockets, etc...

So, what criteria are you using to determine this if you are so confident to say that he never will be?

No-one will ever factually be, that's his point.
