    This is the hallmark of goals year by year with
    Ovechkin 52 46 65 56 50 32 38 32 51 53 50
    33 43 49 51 48 24 50 42 314 42 I mean
    the guy's a machine he's a machine so
    like he's worthy he's worthy of this
    title it's a legit record like those are
    the kinds of numbers Hank Aaron used to
    put up he never had like a 60 home run
    he never hit 50 it was 40 40 every
    single and that's what this guy is now
    he's not you know I don't know if he's a
    great defensive competitor you know
    offensively he wanted his goals he's
    probably really selfish but he's a great
    goal scorer so you know I I'm not as
    into the se I'm not hardly any records
    but this one it deserves a conversation
    because it is legit i am more interested
    in single season records like if someone
    reaches 92 Gretzky's 92 now we're talking
    uh but Gretzky still like make no
    mistake and I love Ovechkin I do this a lot so
    you've heard some of these before but I
    I I just love the Gretzky stats i don't
    know if people fully appreciate how far
    and away he was the best player of his
    time or any time and so I'll just we'll
    we'll do some of these again some of
    these are repeat some of these are new
    gretzky retired in 1999
    he could have played 16 more full
    seasons without scoring a single goal or
    registering a single assist and retired in
    2015 and he still would have averaged a
    point per game for his
    career this was a good one fastest
    players to score 1,000 points number
    one Gretzky number two Gretzky with his
    second 1,000 points he got That's a
    great one he got to 2,000 before anyone
    got to
    1,000 all-time scoring leaders this is
    another way to put one you already know
    number one Gretzky number two Gretzky if
    he scored no goals take away all his
    goals he was still number one gretzky's
    assists make him the NHL's all-time
    leading scorer point getter take away
    all of his goals he's number one
    he won 10 scoring titles by an
    average of 49
    points say that one again he won 10
    scoring titles by an average of 49
    points
    record setting season to scale on
    9:09
    baseball would be Barry Bonds hitting 90
    homers not 73 batting 420 and driving in
    200 runs per season for seven or eight
    years in a row
    to scale what Gretzky did in his prime
    to the rest of the league okay it would
    be Barry Bonds hitting 90 homers with a
    420 average and driving in 200 runs per
    season for seven or eight years in a row
    in NHL history players have scored
    100 assists in a season a total of 13
    times two players Mario Lemieux and
    Bobby or each did it once gretzky did it
    11 times in a row you get that one 100
    assists season 100 assists
    season it's only happened in NHL history
    13 times gretzky has 11 mario Lemieux
    Bobby once And then Gretzky 11 times in
    a row so Gretzky is just about the "assists"
    right he holds a single season record
    for goals in a league at 92 for goals in
    a season at 92 you know who number two
    is gretzky at 87 yeah he was
    just an assist guy uh no he just as he
    got on in his career he like
    intentionally stopped scoring as much or
    just focused more on the assists or
    whatever but yeah he's got the first two
    92 and 87 he scored 92 in 1981 82 and
    then 87 and 83-84
    um the past six okay modern day the past
    six NHL scoring races were decided by a
    combined 60
    points only one non-Gretzky player has
    even won the scoring race by more than
    30 points and that was Mario Lemieux by
    31 points in
    1989 gretzky won the scoring race by
    more than 70 points six times
    gretzky won eight consecutive MVPs the
    Heart Trophy at one point in the NHL NBA
    NFL and Major League Baseball no player
    has ever won more than four consecutive
    MVPs uh only five players have recorded
    150 or more points in a season gretzky
    did it nine
    times in other words in 45% of his
    seasons only Gretzky and Mario Lemieux
    ever topped 155 points in a season
    gretzky is the only player in NHL
    history to record a 200 point season and
    he did it four times four times yeah
    that those go on and on and on and on
    and on and on don't put Alexander
    Ovechkin in your mouth with Wayne Gretzky
    no no not even close and you know what
    you're not No one does no one is which
    is a which is refreshing you know LeBron
    scores that record setting point with
    for Jabbar and now I got to hear him in
    the same breath as Jabbar and Jordan and
    he's not sorry kids he's not at least
    they're not doing this with Ovechkin
    they're just keeping it to the goals the
    goals the goal record legit legit but
    there was only one way Gres no and that
    and that's what Ovechkin is he's a goal
    scorer really and again I mean he was a
    strong skater like tough you know in his
    prime anyway but a lot of the other
    stuff he didn't do but he could put the
    puck in the net

    Получается теперь рекорд называется "Рекорд Овечкина"

  17. @Dan-nt2yb

    The amazing thing is that most of these goals were against great and current players…especially goalies. Unlike the other guy.

  20. @sibnivavod

    Спасибо за компиляцию, за интересные и оригинальные названия голов. Очень понравилось лаконичное "The Goal" ))).
    Ждем от Александра 1000!

  23. @hudozhnik_bboy

    Ovechkin is a phenomenon. But hockey is a team game and the Washington Capitals played no small role. And the most importantly is the support of his wife and family (just look at them cheering for goals in the stands 👏🏻👏🏻)

    It's amazing that the NHL has been held since 1917, and its best sniper is a Russian, and Russians play in the NHL only 6.7% of the total number, and the first Russian began playing in the NHL in 1988. But to become the best sniper, you have to play for a long time, for example, Ovechkin played 20 seasons. Many Russians did not play in the NHL for so long, since they played part of their careers in Russia.

    It is strange that in all this time, there was not a single Canadian who would top the list of the best snipers in the NHL. In the Canadian-American championship, the best sniper is not a Canadian, not an American, but a Russian!

    Apparently, the Soviet school of hockey and the genes of the ancestors have an effect.

    The second sniper of the NHL Gretzky grandfather and grandmother were from the Russian Empire.

    Ovechkin scored goals in the NHL, which featured most of the world's best players, and Gretzky scored most of his goals when most of the world's best players played in the USSR. Below are statistics in which the USSR national team won the overall victory over the Canadians.

    The USSR national team scored a total of 42 victories, suffered 16 defeats and drew 10 games with the Canadian national team at the World Championships, Olympic Games, Canada Cup and Super Series.

    The super series of matches between the national teams of the USSR and the NHL, as well as between Soviet clubs and the clubs of the NHL and the WHA ended with the following total result: 96 wins, 63 losses and 16 draws in favor of the USSR.

    The six members of the symbolic team were chosen by voting organized by the IIHF. The selection committee included 56 hockey experts from 16 countries in Europe and North America. The final six were announced on May 17, 2008 in Quebec at a gala evening dedicated to the centenary of the IIHF.

    Symbolic team of the century:

    Goalkeeper: Vladislav Tretiak (USSR) – 30 votes.

    Defender: Vyacheslav Fetisov (USSR) – 54 votes.

    Defender: Börje Salming (Sweden) – 17 votes.

    Wing: Valery Kharlamov (USSR) – 21 votes.

    Wing: Sergei Makarov (USSR) – 18 votes.

    Center forward: Wayne Gretzky (Canada) – 38 votes

    Most of the best hockey players of the 20th century played in the USSR.

    As can be seen from the statistics, game results and voting, most of the best and most titled hockey players played in the USSR. But starting in 1989, hockey players from the USSR began to join the ranks of NHL teams. In the 1988-1989 season, 1 skater from the former USSR played in the regular season of the NHL, after the collapse of the USSR in the 1991-1992 season, 24 skaters played, in the 1993-1994 season – 63, and in 2003/04 – 71.

    On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, hockey players from Eastern Europe got a chance to play in the NHL.

    In 1989, the number of Europeans in the NHL exceeded 10% for the first time (12% in the 1989/90 season).

    In 1995, the number of European players in the NHL exceeded 20% (21% in the 1995/96 season).

    In 2000, a record number of Europeans (123) were selected in the NHL draft (42% of the total number of draftees).

    In the first post-lockout season of 2005/2006, 263 Europeans played in the NHL (27.03% of the total number of players).

    Ovechkin played in the NHL with higher competition than Gretzky. But you can compare the results of these players, at the time when Soviet players began to play in the NHL.

    Gretzky played 373 games in the NHL from 1993 to 1998 and scored 120 goals (an average of 0.32 goals per game) at the age of 32-36. Ovechkin, ages 32-36 (2017-2022), played 353 NHL games and scored 222 goals (0.63 goals per game on average).

    Gretzky, ages 27-36, played 721 NHL games and scored 302 goals (0.42 goals per game on average) from 1988-98. Ovechkin, ages 27-36 (2012-2022), played 721 NHL games and scored 441 goals (0.61 goals per game on average).

    Ovechkin has won the most goals scored over these periods.

    Ovechkin has also won the most seasons in which they have led the league in scoring.

    Wayne Gretzky has never been a top scorer since 1991, when after the collapse of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, European players flooded into the NHL (the number of Europeans in the NHL increased more than 5 times), and the competition in the NHL itself increased! And Gretzky's scoring rate dropped noticeably. Wayne Gretzky himself said in an interview that it is harder to score now than it was during his playing days (I quote him: "scoring 13 goals now – and this is just my opinion – is much harder than scoring 15 goals, like I did in '93.", "I don't want to offend the guys from the 80s and 90s. They were the best in their time. Trottier, Messier, Lafleur and so on. They were great athletes. But now the game has become faster, it requires even more strength. When I first saw Zdeno Chara on the ice with the Islanders, I said to myself: "My God, when he's on the ice, I should be on the bench. And every time he came out on my shifts, I ran to change." Now two-meter players move well, they can do a lot of things that were unimaginable

    before.").

    Therefore, no one could come close to Gretzky's eternal record.

    The fact that after the collapse of the USSR, most of the best players began to play in the NHL is shown by the following statistics. The ratio of players from different leagues at the 2014 Sochi Olympics:

    1 . NHL – 50.67%

    2 . KHL/VHL – 17.00%

    3 . Switzerland – 7%

    4 . Austria – 6%

    5 . Sweden – 5.33%

    6 . Germany – 3.33%

    7 . Norway – 2.67%

    8 . Slovakia – 2.33%

    9 . Czech Republic – 2%

    10 . Finland – 1.33%

    11 . France – 1.33%

    12 . Kazakhstan – 0.33%

    13 . Denmark – 0.33%

    14 . Italy – 0.33%

    The ratio of players from different leagues at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, excluding players who play in their national championships:

    1 . NHL – 52.58%

    2 . KHL – 21.65%

    3 . Sweden – 7.73%

    4 . Germany – 5.15%

    5 . Slovakia – 3.09%

    6 . Switzerland – 2.58%

    7 . France – 2.06%

    8 . Czech Republic – 1.55%

    9 . Finland – 1.03%

    10 . Austria – 1.03%

    11 . Kazakhstan – 0.52%

    12 . Denmark – 0.52%

    13 . Italy – 0.52%

    14 . Norway – 0.00%

    Since the collapse of the USSR, when Soviet hockey players began playing in the NHL, Russians have generally become the best snipers in the NHL most often.

    Let's count how many times hockey players from different countries became the best snipers in the regular NHL championships after the collapse of the USSR, starting with the 1992/1993 season (the first full season after the collapse of the USSR):

    Russia – 14

    Canada – 10

    USA – 4

    Finland – 3

    Czech Republic – 2

    Slovakia – 2

    Also in the top three highest paid NHL players throughout their careers are two Russians: Ovechkin and Malkin.

    Before the collapse of the USSR, Soviet hockey players dominated world hockey, and after the collapse they went to play in the NHL and now dominate it, scoring more goals than others and earning more money than others, despite the fact that they are a minority there.

    Russian and Soviet hockey players took most of the titles and records.
