Alex Ovechkin goal watch

[Loco2]

4 to go… one of the easiest of his career. A tap in on the PP.

One Kevin Hatcher away now… feeling a 2-goal night tonight.

 

[Loco2]

Only 3 to go!!! OV blast from his office on a 5-on-3.

Eight.

Ninety.

Two.

Standing ovation from a Carolina crowd chanting the name of a visiting rival player is pretty cool.

He’ll soon be the leading goal scorer of all time. And he’ll celebrate however the fuck he wants!

So I have tickets to the last five games of the Caps this year. The Pens' game prices are SURGING and I could possibly sell tickets I bought for $225/each for like $1,000+ each.

I think he probably breaks the record before the Pens' game, so do I...
(1) Sit on the tickets, no point in taking the chance.
(2) Sell them and pay for all the other games with a profit and potentially miss nothing anyway.

What would you do?

I'd sell them, but be super pissed if that was the game.
But then again, every game after that is a potential new record

Stats say sell. Set aside the emotions of it being the Pens. Odds are he breaks the record before the last game.

Take the $$ and free roll it

Interesting piece on how they are cataloguing and documenting the gear used during the chase. The Caps have printed special tamper-proof labels with each # on them (890, 891, 892, etc), and obviously, they are grabbing every puck and labeling each one.

Additionally, there is a numbered label for each stick and OV is signing the label that goes on each stick. He is also switching jerseys every period, and if he scores during the period, he signs it as well as both players who assisted and that numbered label is sewn into the jersey.

And the #895 labels are special, have 3-d components and additional anti-tampering features.

If I'm the goalie that gets scored on, I'm firing that puck into row 15



Edit : on second thought, I'm having it to #8 personally for some swag

1 to tie, two for the record.

Awesome. ESPN app was on some "accompanying" show like pre-game from outside. I assumed the game started at 7:30.

Ovechkin now with 14 40-goal seasons, breaking his own record.

Yeah, but that's just a NHL record - How many 40 goal seasons does Pooty Poot have in Russia?

894!!
