Can Ovechkin pass Gretzky’s goal record this season? | Overdrive Hour 2 | 09/20/24

[@Rod83]

Ovechin probably going to score 25 this year if he going beyond that it would be amazing for is age

[@TheSamdroidOnline]

19:42 The Ovechkin talk starts.

[@darts1684]

youre a hero

[@robintaylor1490]

Thanks, glad I missed the first 19 minutes ... bahahaha

[@might33duck76]

Ovi will have a hot start. I think he’ll make it interesting.

[@Hockey_buds8]

You still asking this question is hilarious 😂 he’s gonna play till he does it

[@dangraesser5341]

How could anyone think that he has come this far and would not keep playing till the goal is reached. He isn't going anywhere till he gets the record.

Wayne Gretzky played 1487 regular season games in 20 seasons in the NHL, but he scored his final goal, goal number 894, in game number 1477. Alex Ovechkin will have to score goal number 894 in game number 1476 or earlier, to say he did it quicker than Wayne Gretzky. Alex Ovechkin has played 1426 games. Subtract 1426 from game number 1477, in which Wayne Gretzky scored his last goal, goal number 894, and you get 51 games. Alex Ovechkin has 853 goals. 894 goals minus 853 goals equals 41 goals. Alex Ovechkin has to score 41 goals in 51 games to tie Wayne Gretzky, or score 41 goals in 50 games or less, to say he did it quicker than Wayne Gretzky did it.

@@OttawaNow ovechkin played with one franchise and through retool seasons. Gretzky played on stacked teams with better players.

[@BC-th3mx]

Except Ovechkin played when scoring was down over 30% league wide and Gretzky played when every team scored 4 goals a game, so if you remove 30% of Gretzky's goals, you have a better comparison between the two in terms of goalscoring ability

[@ozzydo2314]

He was scoring at a 50+ goal pace for the second half.

[@ry4nx]

if he starts like he did last season, no

[@John577]

I've been to games all around the league and Scotia Bank Arena is by FAR the worst arena I have ever been to. By FAR!

[@ci20bm]

Oh just shut up. You’re just being a 🤡 and trolling.

[@say10sedso56]

Lol, Too bad Mikey here doesn't run a sports book.. even odds that Ovi will score 41 goals this year? He's out of his mind....😂

[@harmangill7509]

He's still getting 9 million for a couple years. He's not gunna retire anytime soon

[@jerrysmithers1429]

but he will play till he is 60 look at Patrick Marleau now nobody cares it is Gordon Howes record SO BE IT AS IT SEEMS

[@jamesmarkheat]

Ovechkin actually has 400 points to get to equal Gretzkys time on the ice. Maybe after the goals record he can try passing the puck as well.

[@jerrysmithers1429]

another patrick marlue keep playing for the record lol

[@proudmanxman]

No

[@alberthamel6039]

No no no no olvi is toooo lazy now Send him to khl & give up asking this question !!!!

[@atrealdino6667]

Take care Faizal kamiza namatti be god bless in India MF global warming up

[@nadaduo1765]

hopefully he get's badly inured and misses the whole year and never breaks it lol

[@ci20bm]

Go to hell 🤡

[@jamesmarkheat]

And Gretzky spent even more time setting up others for goals. Why is ovechkin getting recognized for this ....really. Other players would have reached the goal record as well if their primary focus was RECIEVING the pass instead giving as many or more good passes to others. Ovechkins overall game is a joke compared to many others especially Gretzky.
