Will Ovechkin pass Gretzky’s Goal Total?

[Atomic Wedgy]

The more shit we talk about him in this thread, the more he elevates his game.

AO sucks. He's old and washed up. He'll never break Wayne's record. He's not good enough.

Can we get this piece of crap to elevate his game but also have Washington lose?

Seems like it’s only a matter of time now.

Ovi with 2 more today. Up to 26 on the season. 8 in his last 5 games.

[StuntMan12]

I believe he's at 18 in the past 24 games.

With there being time left in this season, he could potentially hit 894 next season. Chances are no but there's a possibility. With how slow his start was, it would be interesting to know what the issue was.

It has been an incredible stretch of goal scoring for the Great Thirty-8 (Year Old) he is now up to 11% shooting percentage on the season (still well below his 12.9% career average).

I said it for awhile. Him not getting pucks on net very early in the season was concerning, aside from that it was just a real bad run of luck that corrected itself. Think about it if he even plays 80% of what he's doing in the 2nd half of the season next year he scores 30.

Who is buying Washington Capital season tickets for next year?

[RizzeeDizzee]

Ovi is aging, and it shows. But he's still a special player, even now. The net result is he's no longer amazing day in and day out. If you look at the last three seasons, he's had prolonged stretches of above point per game play, but coupled with cold stretches he never used to endure each and every season. The prior two seasons he started strong then faded, while this season it was the opposite. But this is more than enough, as a whole, to give me faith he will break the record and not be a complete shell of his former self once he does is, which would be a nice change from what we saw when Keith Yandle and then, subsequently, Phil Kessel broke the consecutive games streak record.

If Ovy keeps this up he might "run away" with the Rocket

[Invictus]

Ovi breaks Gretzky's goal total next season, while in the same year Crosby breaks Gretzky's most point-per-game seasons record.

So 8 more games. He's at 848. I assume he'll get past 850.

If he could get to 854 he'd be within 40.

That would be great... and see him score 40 next year to get it next year.

I don't want him to finish a season only needing like 3 more... that would suck
!
