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

[Video Nasty]

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...

Just reporting the facts.

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

I’m aware of their total games.

Do your own research and see what number game Gretzky scored his 894th goal.

I think that it was clear from his reaction on the bench that he didn't want to break the record that way.

And I can respect that. Will be interesting to see how the caps approach the next game.

Caps announcers thought they saw Ovie waive off his head coach when he tried putting him out for a chance at an ENG.

 

[Juicy Pop]

It's fun to think back to what he'd need to do to get it... but breaking his leg and rolling out 41 goals at 39 years old, despite that, was not in anyone's cards.

Do it against the Pens please, the Flyers fans are with you.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Is he going to play though? I'd imagine they want him to break the record at home.

They're still in the President's Trophy race, which I think is still significant for any team.

Doesn't want to break the record with an empty netter?

 

[authentic]

For sure, there is no shortage of guys that don’t seem to understand how many games it took Gretzky to score 894. If Ovechkin doesn’t score in the next 2 games, will the nhl website get updated?

Regardless, obviously they were going to post that. I think it’s actually pretty cool really.

That look when you don't give a f*** about anything.

But icing had been called. Ovi couldn't go on the ice at that point anyway. The other announcer pointed that out.

 

[Hippasus]

Of course, not as important, but I wonder if Ovechkin can catch Nylander this season. One less at the moment.

True. But he often gets over the boards if Caps win a faceoff in these situations. He clearly didn’t want to break the record with an empty-netter.

 

[Woodrow]

Ovi also is 1 even strength goal away from tying Gordie Howe for second most even strength goals. 52 even strength goals behind Gretzky.

 

[cedouimet]

Anyone needs a kidney?

Looking for a ticket

 

[red devil]

Ovechkin broke the game winning goals record tonight

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

If Isles fans are reading this, how are you feeling about potentially seeing #895 at home?
