    I'm not a fan of Bardown because I find it clickbaity and not much substance, but the last third of the article aims up a Russian interview where Ovie says he has about 2-5 years left in the NHL (all with Washington) then he's going back to Dynamo Moscow.

    For his goal chase, if it's only two years, he's not making it. If it's five, he just might.

    He's 188goals away.

    If next season is a 60game season, he still needs to score 40+ to have a shot. COVID might steal Ovi a chance at the record. It already took 9-10goals away from him to end the 2019-20 season, might steal 30goals from him in 2020-21 season depending how short it is.

    It will be interesting.
    If I'm a 35+ year old hockey player with a Cup ring and lots of $$$... I'm not sure how I'm maintaining my life motivation to the other side of COVID.
    People hit portions of their lives where they age in a short period of time.

    I'll be curious to see how well he's getting up & down the ice when next season comes into play.
    I'll be curious to see how a lot of 30+ year players perform when next season starts.

    It's not just Covid, he's lost time due to other lost seasons. To me, he's the greatest goal-scorer in NHL history.

    If he gets close, I think he may stay around to break that record, since it was widely figured to be unassailable, and frankly his games missed breakdown looks like this:

    24 games in 2012-13 due to Lockout
    14 games in 2019-20 due to Covid
    30 games missed total in 13 other years due to injury & suspension. I'm guessing no healthy scratches for this guy.

    Funny enough he was healthy scratched in 2015 for sleeping in.

    You may want to look at Teemu Selanne's career stat lines and reconsider this.

    It's hard to imagine Ovechkin playing in the NHL long enough to break the record. It will be a sad day for me as I own OV in 3 of my keeper/dynasty leagues and I'm not trading him, so I'm all in until he's done! #OVenchicken #rotobeast

    It's going to be really interesting to see how many players come into camps out of shape.
    I mean... a lot of guys stay fit & motivated by interacting with other people.

    There's gotta be some guys that stayed really isolated and may not have stayed up with their cardio/weights.

    We'll see where Ovechkin and others are soon enough.

    Months later and I have to change my vote...

    Imagine, Gretzky did not have the same number of work stoppages and now, pandemics..... It's a crime to the record books, what those things have done.

    As for camp, I expect some injuries for sure. This long without contact hockey is really long, and I think there will be consequences. It's not like the lockouts when some players could play in pro leagues overseas.

    Ya I feel this break is really going to take a toll on Ovie. I still hope he makes it. But it was already a very daunting task.....

    Gretzky also had a shortened season due to lockout.
