  1. I'm a huge Caps and Ovi fan, and I'm loving this pursuit of history, but I'd like him to be more of a threat before the game is decided. promising stuff late in this game on his line with McMichael and Stromer, hope that line starts clicking.

  2. Empty net goals dont count. Ovechkin needs to learn the angle changing shot Mattews Magnificent invented and maybe he could score 5v5.
    Ovechkin is good goal scorer but Mattews Magnificent is generational talent and main reason why Leafs are most feared team.

  3. I'm confused !. I seen 3 weeks ago when he got a hat trick to get to 800 was reported. You even have a report here on You Tube for 800 goals posted 3 weeks ago .

  4. The empty net merchant strikes again!

    But seriously though it’s crazy getting to watch history like this live

  5. This was his 400th goal from age 30 and on.

    Gretzky only had 188 goals over that span.

    He needed those cardboard cutouts from the 1980s to score on and pad his stats.

  6. The legendary all-time vulture is waiting for scrap carcus goals. All-time leader in empty net goals, power play goals, and overtime goals . All-time leader in shots on goal. All-time floater hanging around like a pilon on his off wing waiting for spoon-fed passes taking the easier shots on goal tenders blocker side. The cardboard cutout Alexander Ovechkin…. He's not hard to miss. Waiting lifeless for that silver platter pass… 😂

  7. I hope that when he breaks the record, it's off one of his iconic clappers from the dot. It would be kinda boring if it's an empty netter like this.

  8. Я часто вижу, как в пустые ворота вообще забить не могут! Молодец, Ови. Что ему теперь, мимо пустых ворот бросать специально?)

  9. Not a caps fan, but this is easily one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to watch in sports. True greatness doesn’t happen often.
