  1. I didn't realize those sorts of records could be broken anymore. Now we just need someone to get to 90 goals in a season.

  2. Most 40 goal seasons:

    1. Ovechkin – 13 *
    2. Gretzky – 12
    3. Dionne – 10
    4. Lemieux – 10
    5. Bossy – 9
    — Gartner – 9

    * 6 after turning 30 years old

  3. There have been many great players in the history of the NHL, but Ovechkin is special even among them.
