Will Ovi break Gretzky's goal record?

He has to score 42 goals in NHL seasons in order to beat Gretzky's 894 goals record.

That's 21 goals per season in his 2 remaining years in his contract.

Can he do it?

Yeah. Unfortunately.

Hopefully Matthews breaks it again a decade from now. I bet Ovi won't be so dignified about it as Gretzky.

Just a matter of when, honestly.

 

[Terry Yake]

he's going to end up one goal short

Matthews won’t end up with more goals than OV.

Ah yes, choir boy Matthews…exemplification of dignity.

No he isn't. But Gretzky is. Just be interesting to see how Ovi would treat it. And then if Bedard beats Matthews record, I doubt he would be dignified as well.

That’s fair. I can’t really see Ovi accepting the record in an undignified fashion though. He may have been brazen and a showman in his early years, but he’s really matured over the course of his career.

Edit: And while I was having a go at Matthews, I wouldn’t imagine he would accept such an accomplishment without class either. I think it would take a guy like Nail Yakupov to truly turn it into a disrespectful occasion.
