Ovechkin Milestone Thread - Passed some guy named Wayne, now NHL goalscoring leader (895 !!!)

[MaxDummy]

Will have another GWG probably too

 

[Shonky]

How many 39 year old players have had a 40 goal season? Go check, I’ll wait.

Could be because he's simply the best at it

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Best part is, not only will he break the record, but he'll likely add a couple more before the season is done.

 

[CostaRica]

What a beautiful moment to witness

 

[M2Beezy]

Wayne is D R U N K

Hahaha i thought he sounded sooooo slurred

 

[Telos]

Nothing short of legendary. The man is pure dominance to put up the season he has, despite injury, at his age. He deserves the title of greatest goal scorer in NHL history.

 

[Video Nasty]

Did he get to 894 in fewer games than Gretzky?

Took 7 games more.

895 and beyond will be automatically the quickest someone has gotten to each, seeing as how he'll constantly be raising the bar.

 

[JPeeper]

FFFFFUUUUUUUU

 

[Confucius]

The GOALS, Greatest of All Legendary Scorers.

Drop the, the. Would have been a great nick. Then after tonight it’s revealed what the acronym stood for. Lol

 

[Canadienna]

I thought that was it!

 

[KrugAvoy]

Wow! Almost!

 

[Arthuros]

Jesus Christ

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I cant believe he went the deke instead of ripping it

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Dang, that would’ve been a beauty way to break the record

 

[Hank Plank]

Wayne looks super happy about the whole thing, or looks like a serial killer.

 

[Bandit]

Could be because he's simply the best at it

Could be. Just like Dodgers fans called me an idiot for suggesting Eric Gagne was juicing and instead just had “a beer and cheezburgrs build”.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Smash the record. f*** Gretzky.

 

[Firsov99]

Kudos to Knight for not making it easy.

 

[kugelbahn]

False and lazy reporting in the excitement of following a chase in the moment.

Does not really matter, in "one less game" or not.
Are we supposed to forget those 8 last games where Gretz did not score?
Gretz scored 894 in 1487 total games.
OV scored 894 so far in 1486, more to come...

 

[Martin Skoula]

Dang, that would’ve been a beauty way to break the record

Now it’s going to be a Chicago empty net own goal credited to him while he’s on the bench

 

[Confucius]

Took 7 games more.

895 and beyond will be automatically the quickest someone has gotten to each, seeing as how he'll constantly be raising the bar.

According to nhl website it’s 1 less Gretzky 894 in 1487 Ovi now 894 in game 1486

 

[Muffin]

Part of me wants the record breaking goal to be called back by offside challenge just to highlight how dumb it is

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Damn it Duhaime, you were supposed to wait for Ovi

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Now it’s going to be a Chicago empty net own goal credited to him while he’s on the bench

I still think it would be funny if he seemingly got the record breaking goal late in the third, then gets a ENG for the fourth, only for the third goal to be credited to someone else on further review so the record goal turns out to be an ENG anyways
