idk i just dont see a record here. season is 2x as long now. there are more games and more teams per season, and the guys got how many empty netters? yeah. good job. beat that record at like 60 years old.
He only needs 1500 more Assist to catch the Great1 #99
5 to break Gretzky's record.
4 to tie Gretzky's record.
3 to update his own NHL record for 40 goals seasons to 14.
2 ESG to tie Howe for 2nd all-time.
1 GWG to break Jagr's record.
Cool seeing those Sabres fans behind the net clapping
OVIE!!
I really hope that, if they play at home and he is 1 or 2 away and they are winning, that the visiting team will just line up and let him score the last few more as a celebration than a battle. He deserves to get the record at home.
beating a gretsky record when his record is so above any other records in sports is pretty crazy. i remember when so many thought he couldnt do it or that it would take until he was 40 or 41. he's doing it earlier than anyone ever predicted. at 39 he has .65 goals per game, which is better than his career average of .6
What do you mean the best team in the East lost to the worst team in the East 8-5?
When every goalie let's one in, of course he'll pass Gretzky
Hope he gets it this season. Odds are good
As a life long Oilers fan….I salute the Great 8…I'm happy for him. Great to see his little boy enjoying the fun and excitement of his Papa about to make history. So much Respect.
Forget about Gretzky’s record. 900+ after next year. He’s the Hank Arron of Hockey.
I love Ovi and can't wait for him to beat the record, but as an opposing team, how do you let the greatest goal scorer in sport history just stand in front of your net?
Sabres brought the heat tonight though.
It’s crazy to say but I don’t think he’s going to pass Gretzky
Not a Caps fan but I ALWAYS liked Ovie and I hope he breaks that record this season. Good luck Ovie get that record!
How close is Ovi from catching Gretzky's for all time points?
He’s juicing for sure.
Poor Sabres lol. They absolutely wiped their butts with the Capitals tonight, a huge accomplishment for them. And everyone's just focused on the fact that Ovi scored one goal.
С левого круга уже не дают бросать, голы идут с подставлений и других зон…
