Alex Ovechkin goal watch

Obviously he sucked between goals 500 and 600.

That wasn't even the Adam Oates as coach year.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

To put in some kind of perspective:
50 goals per season for 16 seasons will get you 800.

think about that......

Puck hog only has 644 assissts. Somebody tell the selfish Russian to pass the puck.

It's funny/sad to see people saying that Gretzky would have feasted in an era that was not "clutch and grab" (which may well be true), but they somehow don't want to hear what Ovi would have done against goalies like Darren Pang, Ken Wregget and Kelly Hrudey.

And essentially any goalie the Jets and Nordiques threw out there.

Pokey and The Bandit. Great name, not so great goalies.

Oh god, could you imagine

Some of those would almost have to be classified as empty netters

He wouldn’t be trying shit like goal scoring against Norris division teams.

Pretty clever burn on Kane in the responses... "Plays defense once and this is what happens." hahaha.

What is your reaction?

1) That kid just got his college paid for

or

2)

Maybe both

Exactly. His shooting percentage isn't even that good. 800 goals just isn't what it used to be.

I didn’t get a good enough looks at the kids mom to make an informed decision.

Another hall of famers record passed by OV tonight.

Pfft... Most of em were empty net assists where he missed the net and someone cleaned up his garbage

Keith Hernandez would call OV a chucker

Spare a thought for Mark Howe who has to follow the Caps around until Ovi ties and passes Gordie.

I don't like listening to Craig Laughlin on the TV, I couldn't imagine having to hang out with him away from the rink.
