Ovi calling card has always been staying healthy and consistency well into his 30s where most goal-scorers take a step back.

Why 517???

Ovechkin had 320 through 517 games
He had 4 of his next 6 seasons with 50+ once he turned 28 (would be 5 of 7 if not for the shortened season in 19/20)
Makes you wonder if this is even Matthews peak.
22-24 years old was Ovechkins best seasons, but 28-33 was his most consistent goal scoring stretch.

Gretzky at 462 is nuts.

Ovi did this when the average goals in a game was like 4.
Avg GPG is like 6 now.
I love Matthews but do not sleep on how fuckin crazy Ovi’s run has been. If somebody potted 50 they were a GOD. Now it seems like 50 tucks is only guaranteeing you a top 10 berth in Rocket standings.

Fuck Ovi and his Putin loving ways.

Leaf haters love to move the goalposts. As Matthews continues to dominate people will say that scoring is easier now

Matthews will get his 3rd rocket in 8 seasons, along with a Calder, Hart, and Lindsay.
On top of those awards, Ovechkin had an Art Ross, another 2 Hart’s, and another Ted Lindsay

Ovie also played those games when there was 2/3 the gpg

517 games seems like a weird benchmark..
