Insane that we’ve started counting down, it’s no longer if, it’s when and how many will he add

I used to be torn, but now I hope that Ovi gets the record.

Nope. Dont want to see it.

I’m an Oilers fan and I’ve been arguing with anyone who disagreed that this was inevitable for the last 5 years. Barring injury it’s a guarantee now, he wants it and will/can play until he gets it. Although that’s possibly next year, two maximum.
I am absolutely stoked to watch that game. Being witness to one of the greatest achievements in hockey history is one of the best joys of being a fan.

I said get to 850 on the season and I was satisfied
855 seems doable now. Would love that.

Pretty inevitable when you rarely pass the puck.

Russian asshole who supports killing innocent Ukrainians.

A little bit of vomit rose up to my mouth.

I hope he does it

I’m still confused by his first goal. I could have sworn that it was McMichael’s live.

Wayne didn’t do roids. Go back to Russia.

Putin will be proud.

He WILL get the record. If not during this contract, there will be 1-year contracts until he does.

Aint gonna happen

Doesn’t count, its against the jets

Nice to see some goal scorers goals. Getting veeeeeery close.

Wow, the comments in here are hot hot hot.

Wait last time I checked it was 50? Ovi saw the first half of the season and just said “I can do better than that”
AsRiversRunRed
Gretzky played for 21 years. Obvi is almost at 25.
Let’s keep that in mind.

(puts on tin foil hat) Man he *really* didn’t want to play in the All Star game.

The first half of the year I think he was laboring and out if shape. The second half of the year has been so impressive based on the fact that he is playing with crap centres and still scoring.
Remember previously he had either Backstrom and Kuzy to feed him. Now he has Strome, McMichael and Lapierre. …

If he beats the record I hope he goes into the 900s. And hey, play 4 more years after getting 25 goals per year so he can reach the 1000 goal mark

Like 1500 points too right?

It’s awesome how everyone in this sub decided in the last six months or so that “politics doesn’t belong in sports” and this shitty thing is good and exciting.

I’m bracing for the downvotes, but it’s not gonna happen. Don’t get me wrong, it would be cool if he gets it, but I really don’t see him lasting. He’s a liability when he’s not in his kitchen waiting for a pass.

Never happen. 😂😂

New to hockey. What’s the record?

I bet he would already have been there if it wasn’t for the years shorted by strikes and COVID.

He’s gonna do it
LeoGreywolf
I can’t believe this is actually (probably) going to happen. Not only happen but in my lifetime.

jesus christ, i wasn’t convinced at the mid-point of the season but great 8 has SEVEN goals in the last FOUR games. he’s SO hungry for it.

How many assists left to tie Gretzky?
pacmans_ghosts
Plot twist, Ovi has to accomplish this feat before Gretzkys retirement age.

Unreal to think gretz record still holds

It’s a monumental achivement that I really hope won’t happen, but inveitabely will. Only thing that prevents it is a major injury that forces him out for a whole season.
