Gretzky was a compiler after turning 30. From age 30 and on until the end of his career, Gretzky scored 188 goals in 592 games. 26.0 goal pace over 82 games. Since Ovechkin's 30th birthday, he's scored 395 goals in 686 games. 47.2 goal pace over 82 games.
OV is a machine. Not only does he have the best shot from the slot I've ever seen, but he both takes and dishes out huge hits on a regular basis. I've heard Gordie Howe was the same way. Conversely, Wayne Gretzky had enforcer protection his entire career (Semenko, McSorley, etc.) and anyone who delivered a perfectly clean yet stiff hit was typically chased down by Semenko / McSorley / someone else to fight them or at least receive an often late / dirty hit in return.
It's nice to see one of Gretzky's records being broken. Also I'm guessing Ovie will hit 900 goals during 2025 - and that amount of goals in the NHL will probably never happen again, what a time to be alive!
As a Caps fan, I think the team playing so well is a huge buoy for the chase. Ovi dealing with his father’s loss and our lackadaisical scoring rate most of last season had me starting to doubt if he’d keep up the chase but this season has been amazing. My biggest concern is him staying healthy moving forward but fingers crossed
Ovi's broken leg was the first "long term injury" of his 20-season career. 5 weeks. The longest injury related games streak missed before the broken leg was 6. I am a 35-year Capitals fan have had the privilege of watching Ovi's entire career. I never saw a guy as large, as fast, and could HIT so hard as 22-year-old Ovi. 6'3" 240 lbs. with sprinter speed. Ovi is not as fast anymore. His slapper has lost a few ticks. But Ovi still has a nasty wrister and amazing hands. Ovi is more in the slot with the garbage goals. We all know that he wants to hang in the off-wing circle and bomb on the one-time. It's been that way for years and no one has been able to stop it. Ovechkin was the majority of The Capitals for years. Ovi has a lot of support and doesn't have to be the guy every night. Alakesi (?) Protas is doing breaking out on Ovi's wing. Dylan Strome is showing up as a 1C. Connor McMichael is breaking out. Pierre-Luc Dubois is doing well as 2C. He can just be "a guy" and play. 2C has been a black hole for most of Capitals history. Logan Thompson was traded from The Golden Knights and has been a great 1A/1B GK tandem with Charlie Lingren. But Ovi is playing like he is 10 years younger. The passion is fully lit, and we are seeing magic
This Caps fan of 40 years agrees with all of this. Last season was hard to watch, but I love the moves that the front office made this offseason, especially Chychrun. I also am loving Spencer Carbery and what hes done with the team. This season has been fun to watch. Lets Go Caps!
I agree this is a big deal and he played in the dead puck era. My dad always took me to the games in Columbus when the Capitals and the Penguins came to town. A great era of hockey!
Young Ovi did not know any English when he came to The NHL. Ovi dove head first and tried his most to learn English. Someone asked young Ovi why he was so durable. Ovi responded, Russian Machine never breaks." That response is a classic.
The craziest part of this is Ovechkin has a chance to score more goals than Gretzky in FEWER GAMES PLAYED! That is absolutely incredible considering Gretzky played in a much higher scoring era with a lower standard of goaltending, and Ovechkin had multiple younger years robbed by lockouts/COVID. He’s already clearly the greatest goalscorer of all time.
Gretzky's first season in the NHL was 1979-80. His 92 goal season was 1981-82 (one of TEN 50+ goal scorers that season). The 1980s was firewagon hockey - 50 goal seasons were commonplace (9 in 1979-80, 8 in 1980-81, 10 in 1981-82, 7 in 1982-83, 8 in 1983-84, 9 in 1984-85, 6 in 1985-86, 5 in 1986-87, 8 in 1987-88, 6 in 1988-89, 8 in 1989-90), including such household names as Blaine Stoughton, Pierre Larouche, Rick Kehoe, Al Secord, Mike Bullard, John Ogrodnick, Bobby Carpenter, Craig Simpson, Brian Bellows, and Gary Leeman).
@@michaelmarkowski204 Ovechkin also won four Rockets when he was the ONLY 50 goal scorer in that season and a won a 5th Rocket when only he and Draisaitl scored 50.
Jimmy from Chicago….Hi Brody!…..The great 8….God willing…will break 99s 894……Being 69 yrs. Old….I go back to the Bobby Orr and big bad bruins….Love him or hate him….this is incredible at his age…!…..By the way….YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN….at least not in my lifetime…..Think of this……a young guy just coming into the league today…he would have to get 40 goals a year for 20 yrs???….and you would still come up short!…..I think this so COOL!!!…. …..Brodie….Love your show!!!😊😊😊❤
After he turned 30, Gretzky had only two 30+ goals seasons. It’s 3 if you count the 1990-91 season, he turned 30 in the middle of the season. Ovi has scored 30+ every season after he turned 30, with the exception of the Covid shortened season. That season he scored at a 30 goal pace had it been an 82 game season.
Personally I don't want Ovi to break the record. But at the same time I do because I'll have witnessed both of the scoring records being broken in my life time. Since my Maple Leafs will never win the Stanley Cup in my life time.
It's a record I'm torn on him breaking. With the whole profile picture not changing, some Russian player's taking clear stances on Russia's invasion and him not speak on it. Being the biggest Russian star in the league, that was and continues to be tough to watch. Growing up though, watch him play since I was a kid, I think it's amazing there's going to be a guy break one of the records no one ever thought would be touched. H/t to you Alex, good luck on the chase
This is exciting… I remember it was a big deal when Gretzky broke Howe’s record. To me, this is the equivalent of baseball’s career home run record. I hope Ovie makes it. He came here to play hockey, and boy has he ever done so! He’s definitely a first-ballot HOFer. Since he is Russian, I’m sure he’s gonna take some flak like Hank Aaron did as he got closer to Ruth’s record. But he certainly will have earned the record. I really hope the league hypes this up. It’s definitely the sort of thing to attract new fans and reel old ones back in. Go Ovie!
Mr. Hockey, The Great One, and The Great 8 (or Alex the Great). We are talking about some of the greatest eras in NHL history, and in the past, we have embraced their greatness…and we are currently embracing it. Can’t wait for when it happens.
Hope he does it this season. I wonder how the NHL will take it. They seem to have a "do not touch Gretzky" approach. To me Bobby Orr was a better hockey player. However I am from the old school.
@@rocksmith3796 Orr's issue was injuries. That's the thing about OV - he plays hard, takes big hits, dishes out big hits, and scores goals even at a old age.
Don't get hurt Mr. Ovechkin! Pace yourself, you'll get there. And don't after him any more that usual, rest of the NHL! I'm especially looking at you, players from Canada 😋 As for him being from Russia: And..? 🤷🏻♂️ "The Great One", "Mr. Hockey" and "The Magnificent One" are Canadians and the list of great NHL Russian players is a few pages long.
Will never forget seeing Ovi showing his kid around at the All Star game while kids from Ukraine were being kidnapped by the Putin regime. All the while Ovi is posing for pictures with Putin and calling them fascists on his social media. That's what comes to mind when I hear the name Ovechkin.
Mario Lemieux..... 690 goals 915 games.....Mario would have smoked Gretzky's record and scored well over a 1000 goals!..... Mike Bossy..... 573 goals in 752 games..... need I say more?!
Gretsky scored 894 goals in 1487 games. Ovechkin has scored 870 goals in 1446 games. Just goes to show you if you play long enough any record can be broken. Wayne Gretsky is and will always be the GOAT.
they played in different eras, i saw Gretzky earlier games, it’s like nowadays beer league games) to score in that pace in era of hockey prodigies it’s something!
Ovi would have sliced and diced Wayne in the 80's. Get out of the hate barn and play in the hay 👍 All of his records will go out the door. Deal with it...
OVI WILL BREAK THE RECORD, RIGHT?

I never thought Gretzky's record would ever be broken. Ovechkin chasing this record is great for the NHL.
As a lifelong Penguins fan, I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to see Ovechkin play in person.

What will make it more special is that goalies today are light years ahead of goalies of the 80s when Gretzsky scored most of his goals.
40 goals scored in his last 56 games.
25 goals to go with 46 games left.
That’s okay. He’ll never get Gretzky’s most unbreakable record in sports: 92 goals in an 80 game season.
He would need to play against those same cardboard cutouts masquerading as goalies from the 1980s

Can’t believe I’m witnessing this, never thought anyone would break that record. Ovi is amazing, Pavelski is still the great 8 to me though 😅
He already trademarked “The GR8 Chase” and a couple other terms like that to sell merch at the end of the year
