Was talking about this the other day… imagine this guy didn't get drafted into a lockout year, play in a shortened lockout season, play in 2 covid shortened season… he could've easily hit the 900 goal mark. Honestly what a stud.
Watch Ovechkin make a brand when he retires I’m calling it now
Great honour to him
My favorite player of all time
Lol Gretsky in early with the 894 so that people focus on the 700 club.
Whats the point of showing the son of Gordie Howe?
I'm so happy for him that he managed to get the Stanley Cup, now all he needs in his career is a gold olympic medal to join the triple gold club.
Alexander the Great.
He’s a better goal scorer than Gretzky. If it weren’t for the lockouts he’d prolly be Top Dawg.
My mans the biggest powerhouse from the circle
As a Pens fan, I felt obliged to mention that we should call him Mister Ovechkin.
👊👏🐧
Go Alex!
Reasons I don’t think Ovie will pass Gretzky:
2004/5 lockout year was supposed to be his first year in the league (82 games gone)
2012/13 lockout erased 34 games.
Covid erased 49 games
That’s the equivalent of 2 full seasons gone. It’ll be tough to overcome that imho.
if he stays healthy? connor bedard will beat all records in 60% of the time
You earned your place in history. So nice to witness.
No way he will pass the great one. It gets exponentially harder with age.
Welcome to the 7 teeth total club, Alex Ovechkin
Gretzky is almost in the 900 club. Rarified air.
Barring injury he’s gona pass gretz. Insane

Ovi ♥️♥️♥️♥️
As a Flyers fan, I give this man actual props unlike his supposed rival Symone Crybaby.
Pat Robertson is scrambling a team of lawyers together for the exclusive rights to the term 700 club
As a Blues fan, this is the most sober i've seen Brett Hull in years
The GREAT 8 cheers ovy! Go for 800!
My boi jagr
Gretzky is SWEATIN!!!
This year, Ovi will move up to #3…just behind Howe and Gretzky.
12 in his first 14 games so far this season. If he gets 50 this season it takes him to 780. He will then need 28.5 goals per season over the last 4 years of his contract to tie Gretzky at 894 goals.
Oviiiiiii❤️❤️❤️
!!!
Ovechkin is the definition of a dirt bag
F..ck, I (male, 38 yo) got in tears…. Couldn't be so gr8
From 1977 to 1989, spanning the entire time that Bossy and Gretzky piled up 50 goals or more in a season, there were 82 such seasons from players.
Since Ovie came into the league there have been 26 and he has 9 of them. That is 35 percent of all of them.
Was looking at Selanne’s stats for his age 38-40 seasons.
Age 38 – 27 goals in 65 games (16 PP)
Age 39 – 27 goals in 54 games (14 PP)
Age 40 – 31 goals in 73 games (16 PP)
That’s a total of 85 goals with a goals per game pace of 0.44. (54% of his goals on the PP)
If Ovechkin hits 35 goals this season and matches the 85 goals of Selanne over the last 3 years of his contract then he finishes with an even 900 goals.
Who's here after 800?
800 club update:)
didnt take him 3 years for the next century
Pretty small group now the 800 ones
Absolute stud
