Will Ovechkin pass Gretzky.. and will Matthews pass them both?



Alex Ovechkin had the worst scoring first half of the season in his career, but has been on fire since the All-Star break with seven goals in seven games. Is Ovechkin back to being a lock to catch Wayne Gretzky’s all-time scoring record? Bryan Hayes joins That’s Hockey to weigh in.

  1. Just selling clicks. I remember golfers coming and going after good first few seasons we kept hearing here’s the next tiger. Matthews has 6 years in the league he’s 550 goals shy of Gretzky. Enough with the comparisons

  2. 9 year career only because of injury. 5 over 60 goal seasons. Rest over 50 except last year 38 with injury shortened season. 5 straight cup finals 4 straight wins. Easy greatest goal scorer ever Mike Bossy and that is coming from a Caps fan. 22 easily not even close is the greatest goal scorer ever.

  3. Too early to judge matthews. Ovi can absolutely get 900 career goals. He's very slow but he still has that shot in him

  4. Far too early to think Matthews will get up there. Ovie is there cause he has been great in his 30s. Matthews is in his prime on an offensive talented team. In 5-7 years he may be a 25 goal scorer and finish up with 750. We’ll see.

  5. Not sure who the guy on the left is, but what an utter prick. Nothing sad at all about someone still being relevant on the ice at 40 or beyond. The only sad thing I saw is a dick with a shit eating grin and obvious bias tearing on one of the best players of all time. I'm an Isles fan and rooting for Ovi all the damn way.

  6. It’s way harder to score now at any point in Ovechkin’s career than it was when Gretzky played. Nothing sad about what Ovi has and still is doing.

  7. Ovechkin in his 30s averaged 40 goals a season. Howe and Jagr averaged 30. Gretzky averaged 24…………. Matthews has already missed as many games as Ovechkin did. You’re really gonna tell me Matthews is gonna break this? Fuck Canadian media.

  8. Lets remember Gretzky retired at 38.If he played 2 more years to 40 as the Putin supporter will he would always hold the record.
