Alex Ovechkin goal watch

[Loco2]

Ok I kid....Seriously I don't see him or anyone who is currently playing, touching OV's record.

“Austin… show us on the doll where you touched his record.”

Is it too soon to start the Austin Matthews goal watch thread?

Ok I kid....Seriously I don't see him or anyone who is currently playing, touching OV's record.

He's at 398, so another 10 40 goal seasons would get him just below 800. The biggest obstacle for Auston is staying healthy, though.

Yeah that is the issue there. Not many players could play the style AO has, stayed healthy his whole career and produced like he does.

Yeah, you have to be good you're whole career with minimal injuries. It's a tough ask.

Russian Machine Never Breaks

He was back pretty quick from the broken leg earlier this season. Must be the PED's

OV would still be chasing the record if Gretzky didn’t play the second half of his career using shitty Easton Aluminum sticks.

I donated all of my old hockey sticks to my buddy who made a giant game of thrones chair for the Victoria arena.

I kept my Easton through.
110 flex, good for self defense.

My buddy who has been through a ton of surgeries (was a collegiate rower) suspects it was human growth hormones and peptides

He could pull a Gordie Howe and come out of retirement...

Best.stat of the day

He's scored 401 goals since the last time the Buffalo Sabres made the playoffs

OV > Crosby

Alright @dash , you can close down the thread now. Nothing left to say.

 

[Breed]

So, does OV hang around long enough to get to 1,000 goals?!? It might only take another three seasons at the rate he's going.

Interesting. I can't say I've followed hockey for a long time, but in the last 12 years he's scored 40 goals or more 9 times. Definitely has to be something for him to think about I would imagine.

 

[puckhead]

Sure, let's trade

Pretty great timing today. I was a at an airport this afternoon, my wife took out her tablet and found a place to watch the game. About 3 minutes later OV scored. Pretty sweet.

Congrats to Ovi

 

[JDW]

Congrats. What an amazing accomplishment. He's had a great career.

I was hoping to see Gretzky's head bleed - If you know, you know
