Gotta See It: Ovechkin scores 35 seconds into game for 1000th NHL point

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin scores seconds into his game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The goal was his 1000th NHL point.

[@sycho67ak]

Crosby went on his phone during the intermission and disliked this video.

[@rohingill9018]

Syncho67ak Yes I did

[@Pangolinen]

sycho67ak, He congratulated him during intermission, actually.

[@Zackary_]

Ovi will go down as one of the greatest pure goal scorers of all-time. To get that many points in today's NHL is incredible. Congrats to him

[@mattblainfilms]

100% agree with this.

[@things2593]

but he still never got or never will get a Stanley cup

[@neptune7740]

Sumting i said he never will or never got the Stanley cup which means he never won it and he never will common sensr

Gretzky, howe, jagr, messier, Lemieux, ovi is a great player but no where near one of the best all time. But ovi is one of the best of the 2000's

[@spiral6354]

Bleach 01 i wouldnt say no where near he's definitely up there with them and ahead of most of them considering the era he plays in. Hes a top 3 all time atleast if not higher

[@mr.pink707carreviews2]

[@nos5822]

Mr.Pink707 car reviews haha nobody fucked with messier

[@davidmccalla6799]

Bleach 01 Nah he is near the best. If he played in Gretzky's era he would score at least 70 to 90 goals a year.

I was at that game it was really loud that whole game and it was my first Capitals home game ever

[@lukas187x]

Yet no matter what Ovechkin does in his career, certain fans from some other teams will never be satisfied until Ovechkin ditches the Caps. Seriously, even if, by some miracle, the Capitals win the Cup, they will still say "yeah, he won, but it would have been much better if he was playing for us." Gee, I never knew the salty taste lasts that long.

[@nos5822]

Ken Hamada yes cause that's what people are saying........

[@baptidtepetit7194]

ovichki est le meilleur😉😉😉

[@mr_selfdestrukt]

Ovi is playing in his 11th season and has just hit 1000 points. If he were to beat Gretzky's point total, he would either have to play 20 more seasons at this rate, or double his yearly point totals for another 10 seasons at least. That's insane.

[@badassrussian7674]

If Gretzky would've played in this era he wouldn't be able to get a lot of points.

[@mr_selfdestrukt]

I hear that a lot to be honest. A good response to that would be, if it was that easy to score back in the days of stand-up goaltending, why doesn't everyone of the era (or before) have Gretzky's point totals? Or even remotely close to them.

[@jimmiefrost4845]

BadassRussian clueless you are. the great one would triple his points, if that's even possible. today's game is made for speed and scoring, becoming a weak ass game with all the penalties, plus Gretzky era had the 3 line rule ,which slowed the game dramatically​. you probably don't even know what that was or you wouldn't even make such a dumb statement.

[@badassrussian7674]

"the great one would triple his points" Interesting, so in this era he can get an equivalent of 121 goals per season. In total reaching 2,682 goals? Instead of having 92 goals in a single season back in 1981-82, he can get 276 goals if he played this year? "if that's even possible. today's game is made for speed and scoring" If the "made for speed and scoring" is actually a thing nowadays, people would easily come close or even beat Gretzky. The thing is with speed, along with bigger equipment for players, it is hard to score and you get tired faster with the heavier equipment compared to the past. People in the past used to win back to back Stanley Cups, now you don't see such a thing even though there's the rule of "speed and scoring". There were also many great players around Gretzky. " plus Gretzky era had the 3 line rule" And right now, you have speed and scoring, with heavier equipment, bigger goalies and smaller nets. And you can no longer easily go from one end of the ice to the other end which I bet it was common back then. In conclusion: I believe the NHL nowadays is more of a business than it is of talent, speed and scoring. With the right dedication and effort, people can easily tie Gretzky if they were to play back then. That player is Ovechkin.

[@derrickrussell7056]

Ovie is a beast! Best goal scorer of all time? That's a tough one, because Bossy was something else. 9 straight 50 goal seasons is nothing to meh about. Ovie is certainly the best goal scorer of the 21st century. Let's also stop this Ovie vs Crosby bullshit. Both players are world class. Up until last Nov I would've taken Ovie, but since Nov, 2016 Sid has been far & away the best player on the planet! He stopped whining & just started leading, winning & producing! Right now I think he holds the title.
