  1. He doesn’t look nearly as dangerous this year but I still think he’ll have some positive shift in his shooting percentage by the end of the year.

  2. starleobc

    His place in greatness can never be overtaken, he’s not too concerned

  3. self_direct_person

    he shouldn’t beat Gretzky out of respect for the greatest to ever play. Tie him maybe don’t pass the great one please.

  4. Beaversneverdie

    When the greats fall, it’s usually off a cliff.

  5. BallsMahogany_redux

    He’s had like 3 goals called back this year so far and has hit quite a few posts. He’ll probably finish in the high 20s low 30s this year. Which definitely isn’t usual Ovi pace, but certainly isn’t awful.

  6. Reallyme77

    He’s going to do it but it’s going to be a lot closer than I thought it would be 2 or 3 years ago.

  7. I wonder if he’ll get it, the great 8 is getting old for NHL standards (Jagr doesn’t count)

    If Gretzky’s takes on his records are genuine, he’s not sweating it he’s welcoming it.

    I like how there’s been a total 180 on this. It’s called an unbreakable record for a reason! The fact that it’s even possible is insane.

    How long do the caps carry him if he keeps losing his mojo?

  11. Metalsheepapocalypse

    Gretzky is too humble to want his records unbeaten. He’d shake the hands of anyone who beats his records (and then does a sports betting commercial with them)

  12. TheMannisApproves

    How many did Gretzky get and how many is Ovechkin at now?

  13. you_dumb_fuckerinno

    Gretzky’s Dad Walter is one of the all-time great humans. Wayne speaks on why he wants Ovi to break the goals record. He was raised the right way.

  14. Lol Backstrom is out and he needs someone to pass to him and kuzy is on the block

  15. SleepWouldBeNice

    Meh. Gretzky could have gotten a lot more goals if he wasn’t getting so many assists. Ovi doesn’t have *nearly* as many assists.

  16. MelodyT478

    He better get his shit together then. He’s slowed way downc

    What seemed like an inevitability is now in supreme doubt.

    Unfortunate, but it looks like that record might be safe..
