Wayne definitely needs to be there when it happens.
Monster at 39!!!! Best goal scorer ever!
The great one Wayne Gretzky is at 894 not 895
The Gr8test player I've ever seen, I hope to be at the game for 895!
Саня ты лучший😊
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.
Саня лучший❤
A big ‘who cares?’ from this guy.
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 🙌
Everyone is rooting for you ovi
720p poverty NHL do better
Lots of empty-net goals to come. When Ovechkin breaks the record, it will likely be with another empty-netter.
This is like the grandpa Ovechkin version of his goal against Arizona in his rookie season
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!
Witnessing history right here, this is the stuff of Legends.
Always smile when Ovi scores 😊
Go Ovi
Ovi > Mathews
He is gonna open up the 900 goal club..Magnificent!
Best of the Best – Ovi 8
Only 23 goals away for Ovi to catch The Great One. Let's go Ovi, Let's Go CAPS!!!
Он просто великолепен, такой заряд, такая мотивация и ребята после этого не могут играть плохо, без самоотдачи , вот и рвут всех, вперед Вашики вперед.
Had Quick not lifted his leg he would have saved it.
Blues fan here. No matter which team you root for, the entire hockey community is rooting for you, Ovi!
He ain't passing the Great One I don't care
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
He'll probably break the record at home ice.
Man, if he had not been injured he would already have passed the record
The goalie must be an ovechkin fan. Why'd he lift his leg? 😂😂
Still long way to go lot could happen
This is literally the only hockey storyline I care about this season
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.
This year is his last one, because he's gonna break it, and everyone is behind him
Greatest goal scorer in NHL history
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.
Защитники все проспали.
На повторе.. такое.. ощущение..будто вратарь щиток..приподнял и ….Или приподняли😮
Аллилуйя!
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.
Ови это монстр!
Саня вперёд! Вся страна ждёт твоего рекорда!
wow.. history in the making ❤
1000 бы забил. Было бы вообще офигенно.😊
How many more assists til he breaks Gretzky's record?
Radko Gudas hit coming in 9 days.
Absolutely insane if he didn’t get injured he’d win the rocket
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
Единодушная поддержка. Наврядли есть ещё такой спортсмен, которому все желают гола?!
Really hope he can break the record at a home game. Either way, it'll be an amazing accomplishment!
