I've said in this thread that he'll break the record this season. But it looks like he could do it in less games than Gretz, and win the Rocket while doing it.
I'm not saying either of those things happen. But the fact that it's a discussion 17 games into the season is incredible. Watching Ovie play is something that most of us will enjoy telling our kids/grandkids about. Take it in, sports fans.

Ovechkin already stated multiple times in his Russian interviews, he’s not staying past next season if the goal record is broken

I know that his last seasons have been brutal health-wise, but I still can’t cast a stone in his direction. He was an important piece of our championship team. I will still remember him as the Caps’ honey badger.

It would be pretty incredible if Ovie keeps this pace up, or even close to it, and surpasses Gretzky by end of this season
Such a treat to watch this guy competing every night, and I'm not even a Caps fan.

The suburbs are lovely, with 7 of the 10 richest counties in the nation. Crime is low in the city as well. Other than traffic, what’s not to like?
Sounds like you’ve spent little to no time here.

As crazy as it sounds (and I hope I'm not jinxing him here) I think OV also has his eyes on the most 50 goal seasons record (he's currently tied with Gretzky and Mike Bossy with 9). Caps fans are well aware of the superhuman will and determination of this dude. Yeah he's 39, but if there's ever been a 39 year old who could actually do it, its him.
Well a huge number of ex or retired Caps from all over stay there after they're done playing. Quite a few actually return there after ending their careers elsewhere. Its the same with ex Redskin/WTF/Commanders players too. So, you know, plenty of people want to stay and live there.

I'm already resigned to seeing a 300 pound version of Ovie roll into training camp next season if he drops 50 goals this season, breaking 895 and ending above 900+ career goals.

Ovechkin hitting the ice looking like an off-season Byfuglien would be hilarious and I hope he does it.

Just a bunch of boring suburbs for rich a-holes. There's nothing to do there. I did enjoy the Lincoln memorial.

I visited DC last year, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I stayed at Hotel Washington, so I had easy access to most monuments and museums. The architecture is pretty, and it was, unexpectedly for me, very clean too. I even got a chance to catch a Caps game.

Last season he didn't get goal #13 until February 11 which was game #48.

As for Ovi saying in interviews he wants to return to Russia once his contract is up, the situation there a year and a half from now might dissuade him from going back. He has a family to consider. Players say a lot of things to please certain people. Not saying he won't go, but also realize circumstances can change. The team looking like a Cup contender at that point could also influence his decision.

What does the second table show us? ie when Ovechkin scores the first goal, the Capitals have won 76.7% of their games?

Thank you. That's what I meant (but it could have been phrased better).

Another one. Maybe he really does hit 60 this year. Hell why not go for 70
