  1. From having a broken leg at 39 and to come back and continue to play at the same pace. That’s incredible. All he has to do is get 23 goals and he passes Gretzky. We are witnessing history in 2025. 20 years since his rookie season.

  2. Whether he can beat the record or not this season we’ll see, but in general he certainly will. Greatest goal scorer of all time, no doubt 🙌

  3. If he can score almost a goal per game, break a leg, return and still score goals like nobody's business, all at 39 yrars old then he can score 1000.

    The Caps are good and it's a good reason to stick around for a few years. Ovie could probably score 25 goals at age 45. He doesn't need speed, agility and endurance, just the killer snipe.

    Go 1000!

  4. Он просто великолепен, такой заряд, такая мотивация и ребята после этого не могут играть плохо, без самоотдачи , вот и рвут всех, вперед Вашики вперед.

  5. Blues fan here. No matter which team you root for, the entire hockey community is rooting for you, Ovi!

  6. McDavid who? Mathews who? Cannot compare them to the greatest goal scorer ever, it isn’t even close when you consider those two are in their 20s and Ovie is out scoring them at near 40,

    Ovie deserves the record more than anyone when you consider the modern day game he’s playing in, Wayne was great but the goalies are just not comparable to the ones of today

  7. I’m afraid he will retire like he once said immediately after 895 goes in. Been waiting a decade for him to get here. Now it is truly amazing and a little bittersweet cause it means we are closing in on the end. I hope I am all wrong and ovie wants a new contract and 1000.

  8. Idgaf how much it costs. When he nears the magic number, I'm going to all the home games. I would never forgive myself living in DC and not physically being there for such a landmark moment.

  9. На повторе.. такое.. ощущение..будто вратарь щиток..приподнял и ….Или приподняли😮
    Аллилуйя!

  10. Jagr played next 5 years when he was that old, that is so easy for Ovi to pass that. I Believe there is aim to 950 clearly open.

  11. What’s even more impressive is in this day and age with how much more skilled goaltending is and how much more padding they have to block the next and how much water defense is as well is just incredible to witness

  12. Единодушная поддержка. Наврядли есть ещё такой спортсмен, которому все желают гола?!

  13. Really hope he can break the record at a home game. Either way, it'll be an amazing accomplishment!
