With our extensive history of giving up milestones and these games now being on national TV, it seems like yet another Islanders moment is taking shape. Someone knew what they were doing when making the schedule lmao.
If I were you, I’d buy tickets to both of these games. Worst case scenario is that you take a small loss on both of them. Best case scenario is that you make a big profit, or even better, get to see a massive moment in sports history.

Intriguing.
Nah, Dobson will be in prime Norris trophy contention and reborn Sorokin will have a 1.000 sv% through the season. Ovechkin has no chance.
He needs 43 to pass Gretzky. He started to show some drop off last year and only scored 31. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him not break the record at all this year.
I think eventually he does it, but who passes him?
I don’t begrudge the guy, but it’s so beyond obvious that if not chasing this record he would be over and done by now. He’s a shadow of his former self and holding the CRAPitals franchise hostage.
I always feel like the whole “we always give up milestone moments” is overblown, literally every single fanbase in every sport says it. Every single time a team reporter tweets out “Prospect X is making his NHL debut for [opposing team] tonight” the replies are filled with “first career goal/win/shutout incoming.” Maybe the stars will align for Ovechkin to break the record against us. But the notion that the Islanders or any other team are uniquely prone to giving opposing players these kind of moments is silly.
He’ll miraculously do it in both somehow knowing what we give up for other players special nights.
