Looks like this thread went into quarantine around the time COVID hit, but you can't spell COVID with OV!!! wait.... nevermind.

Ovechkin ties Esposito for #6 and needs 15 goals to pass Dionne and join the Top 5. With 28 games to go, seems like there is a good chance we'll see that by year's end. He has an outside chance of catching Hull this season, but seems unlikely.

If he finished the year around 734, he'd need to average 32 goals a season for the next 5 years to catch #99. Tough task, but tantalizingly possible.

Empty netter, of course :)

Most people don't know this, but 397 of his goals have been empty netters and another 304 on the power play, leaving only 65 goals he has scored five on five. Sad! ;)

Honestly, that's awesome.

I no longer wonder if he has the ability to get Gretzky's record. It's purely health. If he stays healthy, he's going to get to 900 goals. Man it's been fucking awesome getting to watch this guy for almost two decades now.

I didn't know he had over 300 PP goals but he does have the most ever I thought.
Also another goal stat he is almost the all-time leader in is Game winning goals. He is now tied for second with Howe and needs 15 more to tie Jagr.

Clearly he still has the moves of Jagr.
Seriously to this day I wonder the disappointment she has, along with her parents knowing she tried to blackmail a guy who lost all his money to gambling and doesn't give two shits.

"Hey guys. Yep, pretty sweet. In the month of March I DID in fact move to the position of 3rd place in goals. Forty-third that is. That's a little hockey humor, guys. And people say I don't have personality. I guess if.... no, no!! excuse me sir, I said a cake cone. Waffle cones make me gassy. Thaaank you. Okay, guys, gotta get back to growing a beard. Maybe in my... (sniff)... forties. (whispers)...maybe.... in my...forties."

Another record to watch next season for Ovechkin will be all-time shots. He routinely puts 300+ on net in a year and he's currently just over 200 shots back.
