So boring
It didn't even seem like he was trying to score that either haha. I think ovie will stick around and try and get to 1k. If he took the off-season seriously and got back in proper form, he could do it in a couple season without a doubt
И ОН СНОВА ЗАБИЛ😂 , ЧЁТКО ПО ГРАФИКУ, ПРОПИСАННОМУ ДЕРЕКЦИЕЙ КЭПСЕРОВ …, ЦИРК

It’s insane how far ahead Crosby and Ovechkin are in comparison to their peers they played along side. Nobody else from their era is even close to 1600 points and both have surpassed it. Shows how truly far ahead they were of the competition. Rooting for Ovi to break the goal record and Crosby to break Gretzky’s PPG season record
do playoff games count towards the goal record?
ALEEEEEEX… OVEEECHKIIIIIN
Am I the only one who thought it appeared as though the Seattle defender made little effort to block Ovi's shot with his skate or stick?
Ohh wow, another empty net… surprising
All the sportsnet videos today have been about Malkin , Crosby and ovechkin. Feels like 2010 🥲
No look through-the-defensemen, dead-Center, backhand empty netter. He’s too good!
Yeeeeeh. Another empty netter 🥱
I am the Washington Capitals guy and the great 8 is one of the best players in the world.
Гол есть гол, ,хоть пустые ворота.
I love hockey. Just difficult for me to have such a fetish about any player 🙄
😂 idc who you are this is great to be able to watch. This guy literally just finds the net!
1600 and 886 for the great 8 if she’s scores 9 more goals it’s gonna be a record
Empty net merchant as of late. Don’t even lie to yourself
How many games left in this season before PO? Who knows?
Guys trust me its really easy to score empty net goals…
Always remember Gretzky only had 56 EN goals, Ovechkin now have 65.. u take away those 65 goals , ovi is 74 goals behind.
🐐🏒🥅
🐑=🐐
+ 14!
OVEE GO!
SUBTRACT HIS EMPTYNETTERS & POWER PLAY GOALS —- HE WOULD BE WAY BEHIND
If Alex doesn't beat Gretzky's goal record of goals with a goalie in the net, I don't think we should count it. Take all empty netters away from both of them.
Slava Ukraini.
the greatest empty net goal scorer of all time adds another to the record book
Happy 1600 Ovi. Thanks for what you mean to hockey. Bless you and your family.
OV seals up another victory!!!
I never thought I’d say this, but I can’t wait for him to break Gretzky‘s record.
That was one of the best empty nickels ever because he was totally blind to where the net was.
The great ape must have eight empty net goals this season or more.
Never thought he will break in April
Gretzky;please don't enter Canada. Traitor!
Supporting a war criminal is a felony. He should have been charged and deported three years ago! Ovechkin is a disgrace to hockey community and his record will never be accepted, because it will be achieved only because of the NHL`s failure to uphold a basic moral standards. But I`m sure he will sooner or later pay for his disgusting behaviour.
Ovi will break Gretsky's goal record and he will keep going on. He will set a new record that will probably never get beaten. He has always made hockey exciting to watch.
I never thought empty netters can be beautiful goals. 😮😮😮
Empty net puncher!.. Нокаутер пустых ворот🤣 Ну коментатор жжет! 👍 ..Всё равно это очень круто, GO Ови! GO Кэпиталз!!!
20 years after their debuts on the same Opening Night, both Sid and Ovi have hit 1,600 points in the same season.
What a magical rivalry.
И кто посмеет сказать что это халява, двое накрывали, с неудобной руки, ну если всё ровно то тогда идите на лёд и сабросывайте 1000 халявеых шайб, это тупость и зависть, не нравится не смотрите, без вас народу хватает праздновать рекорд вечность.
Well done Ovi ! Own that Gretzky record. This is coming from a Canadian former Gretzky disciple.
Выпускайте его за матч только в последние 2 минуты. На большее он уже не способен.
Well. Not surprising. This guy always waits at the red line or the other team’s blue line for his teammates to pass to him to go alone score goals. That’s easy. This guy is NOT a team player. What I was very surprised is that they won one Cup. (Buttman must have helped a bit there but anyway) this is a TEAM sport. He has not learned it yet. Not helping in defense. And always waiting for the puck. If he had played WITH his team, and not for HIMSELF, that team could have won more cups. He’s a stupid selfish idiot
No look, backhand, from beyond the blue line!
Ovi's doing it Ricky Suggs style.
This is seriously special to watch. Empty netter or not, and I'm an Oiler fan.
