Alex Ovechkin goal watch

[forty_three]

No one will ever break 896

There's only one active player who even stands a chance.

Austin Matthews?


Sorry, I'm in Canada - the sports media up here turns every story into how it relates to the Leafs.

"Alex Ovechkin has broken Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record — an incredible milestone. Interestingly, Gretzky faced the Maple Leafs in the playoffs before reaching the Stanley Cup Final back in the '90s, well before Leafs captain Auston Matthews was even born. Fast forward to today, Matthews has led the Leafs to yet another 100-point season. All of this unfolding right here in Ontario — the heart of hockey, the Big Smoke, home to legends like Kirk Muller and cultural icons like The Tragically Hip. With that, we send it back to Toronto’s own, David Amber."

I bet Ovechkin can break the record.

Pretty poor showing for Gretzky to not even be there to celebrate the new career high mark. I thought Gretzky was going to be there to support Ovechkin and the new record, so why was he not in attendance last night?

There's a guy in Washington that no one talks about named Alex or Ales or something. Quietly chasing records.

You’d think breaking this record would get the guy some respect

But my sister still calls him Oven-chicken

Is this the thread where we talk about OV's goal scoring record, I don't think the thread title is very clear. At any rate, he just scored again.

897.

Against the eliminated Penguins, no less.

Oh what could have been for this game had he slowed just a little...

Not bad to score The Goal against the Islanders either though.

Penguins or Rangers would have been preferable, of course, but Isles or Flyers are acceptable others.

Oh it's fine either way... a couple of us had tickets to the Caps-Pens games and were hoping for the record to fall in a rivalry game on the last night of the regular season.
