400 IN 634!!!!!
So much for him being past his prime....
Anyway, Ovie is in his 9th season.
He has missed a grand total of 21 games in that time.
He is 28 years old.
How many goals do you think Mr. Ovechkin finishes his career with. I realize that it is almost impossible to account for any number of variables that will impact this but just guess. It could be fun.
I am going to guess he has 7 more seasons in him and averages 70 games per season (trending toward missing more time at the back end) based on his injury history.
I also think that over those 8 seasons, he averages 35 goals per season. He will almost certainly eclipse that for the next few seasons by a decent mark (42-48ish) but it will certainly tail off at the end. That puts him at 245 total and a career of 645.
I think that the 650 career goal mark would be a pretty reasonable track. He could reasonably get to 700 but it would have to be a hell of a run.
EDIT: I forgot to factor in the completion of this season. Let's say he adds an addition 25 this year, so 650 seems a lot more conservative and 700 much more in reach in my projections.

The 1-3-1 has definitely catalyzed his PP scoring but fit is dependent on the other side being a threat to keep the goalie honest so it has been big that Green, MoJo and Carlson have been legit threats over there. If he gets that shot on net, it's in. With the pass from Backstrom (one of the mister underrated contracts in sports BTW) and Ovie's wicked shot no goalie has a chance.

I'm also kind if surprised he has only one empty better this year.

Tonight is the 49th game OV has played in this season. He has 2 goals to up the total to 38 goals.
A hat trick tonight would give him pretty good odds to get to 40, but he won't hit 50 obviously .
Pretty strong half+ season or so though. Too bad the rest of the team has largely been less than impressive.

Depends on how his team plays. If they're winning by 1 or 2 goals with 2:00 remaining then he has a strong chance, otherwise no.

You're not allowed to comment in the thread further until Crosby reaches 400 goals. See ya in 2018!

Sid has nothing to do with this, why bring him into it? I'm just saying, he'll need a lot of ENG's to hit that mark. That could be said about anyone selfish enough to try such a feat in this day & age.

You can't post in this thread until Sid scores 400, so I'd say he has EVERYTHING to do with it!!

No, Sid has nothing to with this thread. You posted this thread, I gave you my
you got mad so you made up some stupid rule. If I can't post in this thread until Sid scores 400 goals you shouldn't be allowed to post in any thread regarding Cups or gold medals until OV wins one. Sorry, I gave in on not making game threads for your team and stopped referring to myself as "the Doobster" but I'm not going by this stupid rule.

To be fair,
Ovechtrick crap lamp post wishes he was Crosby winger. Lemaire crap coach don't believe in goals would have Ov at 20 goal and plus 20 Much better than 38 and minus 8
DOANNED!

You have to reach 10K posts to make rules. Look in the handbook you were sent. Sometimes people miss it in the bottom of the fruit basket.
And I ain't mad, brotha. Just having a little fun. I kinda like it when you call yourself the Doobster.

Well I think he'll probably get 50 in 50 if it makes you feel better.
