Best scorer of this generation and of all time. Too bad lockouts and covid shortened his time. He could right on the tail of Gretzky right about now
if he has the longevetiy of jagr, he will make it, hes got an odd 10 years or so left Xd
I woulf put jagr over obechkin
@@toke7342 And that would be a mistake lol Jagr is great but Ovi is greatest
and what if it was no lockout and had a serious injury and miss couples season . everything happens for a reason !
@@nasjon2969 ok that is a HUGE if
his hand gesture from the heart is his love for you fans. Because despite the difficulties, we are with him. Good luck and health.
that signature celebration is actually pointing to the sky for his late big brother sergei who got him into playing hockey as a kid!
@@nikw4740 I didn't know he had a brother who got him into hockey. Though, I'm sure he would be very proud of Ovechkin
@@kjprodouctions9050 Yeah unfortunately Sergei passed away in a car accident when Alex was just 10 (he refuses to talk about his brother much when asked in interviews saying he likes to keep it private). But Alex still honors him with every goal!
@@nikw4740 Oh gosh, that's really sad. I'm sure he was on Alex's mind when he won the championship in 2018. That was the year I became a Caps fan when they were in the semifinals against Tampa Bay Lightning
@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 no I'm not
Alexander Ovechkin would be at 900 over right now if it wasn't for 2004-05 lockout shorten 2012/13 season shorten seasons of 2019/20 2020/21 seasons due to Covid
And would very close to 1,000
Thank you for actually putting the Caps Radio (John Walton) call for the 800th goal. The ESPN Broadcast seemed so...disinterested. #GoCapsGo #OhCaptainMyCaptain
If not for lockouts and Covid he would have probably already passed The Great One, what a player!
He will pass Gretzky next season for sure
@@ryans413 I wouldn't say next season for sure but it will happen.
@@ryans413 🤣 at least two seasons. I mean, it's simple arithmetic. 50 goals this season, it's 830 in total, and two more seasons with 35. And it will be 900. Or you think he can score 65 next season? 🤣🤣🤣
@@T-Alex81 if he scores more then 50 a season he will get it by next season
@@ryans413 what is wrong with you? Is your brain demaged or what? Right now he is on pace for 53 goals. OK, that will be crazy if he actually can finish with that pace. But next season he need to score 62. Are you really believing in this? It's bullshit, really. He has 60+ goals just ones and it was back in 2007/08 season.
Greatest goal scorer of all time!
@@toke7342 he’s literally better then all of em 💀the only person close to him in goal scoring is Gretzky and bossy, u don’t know hockey u old head
@@toke7342 yep see how many times each has won the goal scoring title. That nostalgia has blinded you.
@@smildob2776 sure, but i just googled the stats.
And mcdavid is the goat
@@toke7342 McDavid is indeed the GOAT 🐐
Саша - вперед, к новым рекордам! Верим в тебя!
THE GR8-800 amazing ❤🎉
3 more milestones. 895, 900 and yesssss 1000
N°8-800 хет-трик+пас, Ови супер, Алекс класс!
I was definitely one of those saying ‘there’s no way he’s catching the Great One!’. Not so sure now!!! Brilliant.
He definitely will do it. By the end of the season he will be on the mark of about 830 goals. And then just to more seasons and he will surpass him. 35 an 30 goals per season will be enough.
What fun times and memories I had watching Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals for the three or four seasons that I watched, so much excitement and action, especially when Ovechkin was on the ice and seeing him score goals and the season where they won the Stanley Cup and got by the mighty Pittsburgh Penguins and then later went on to defeat the Las Vegas Golden Knights to become the Stanley Cup champions, a experience I will ever forget so much fun.
The average league performance after 2005 (when Ovi joined the NHL) is significantly lower than in the 1980s and early 1990s. In the 80s, the performance per match ranged from 7 to 8 goals, and the most “fun” season was the 1981/82 championship - 8.03 goals (it was in that year that Gretzky set an all-time record - 92 goals in the regular season). In the first half of the 90s, the performance in the NHL was slowly declining (with the exception of the 1992/93 championship), and in the 1996/97 season there was a sharp decrease in this indicator - to 5.83 goals per game. In the 2003/04 regular season, the performance dropped to a terrible 5.14 goals.
This may be due to increased competition in the NHL. After the collapse of the USSR, many hockey players who played in the countries of the Warsaw Pact moved to play in the NHL. The best players on the planet are playing in North America right now. During the Gretzky era, there were almost no Europeans in the NHL. In the 1983/84 season. Only 50 foreigners played in the NHL.
Ovi came into the league during the "dead puck era," playing against bigger, faster goaltenders who are equipped to look like they're working as fighting dog training dummies. The defenders have also become very large. Gretzky scored half of his goals on some skinny, dangling fools who jumped 5 meters out of the “frame”, trying to cut the corner, and then fell onto the ice.
In the 1988-1989 season. in the regular season of the NHL, 1 field player from the countries of the former USSR played, after the collapse of the USSR in the 1991-1992 season. 24 field players played in the 1993-1994 season. - 63, and in 2003/04. - 71. As can be seen from the figures, the higher the field players from the countries of the former USSR played, the lower the performance in the NHL. The performance is correlated with the number of players playing in the NHL from the countries of the former USSR.
From 1975 to 1991, the clubs of the USSR played 108 matches with the teams of the National Hockey League. During this time, the clubs of the USSR won 58 victories, 10 matches ended in a draw and lost 40 times to the representatives of the NHL.
In 1990/91 USSR clubs won 17 times against NHL clubs, lost 8 times and drew 3 times. This indicates the high competitiveness of Soviet hockey players.
For example, the results of the teams in which Gretzky played at that time against the teams of the USSR:
01/04/1980 Edmonton Oilers - Dynamo (Moscow) - 1: 4
12/27/1985 Edmonton Oilers - CSKA - 3: 6
12/31/1988 Los Angeles Kings - Dynamo (Riga) - 3:5
12/04/1989 Los Angeles Kings - Khimik (Voskresensk) - 3:6
12/03/1990 Los Angeles Kings - Khimik (Voskresensk) - 5: 1
Also, the symbolic team of the 20th century included 4 players who played in the USSR championships and 2 players who played in the NHL. 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.
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
Ovechkin played in the NHL with more competition than Gretzky. But you can compare the results of these players, at the time when the Soviet players started playing in the NHL.
Gretzky played 373 games in the NHL from 1993 to 1998 and scored 120 goals (averaging 0.32 goals per game) at the age of 32-36. Ovechkin, aged 32-36 (from 2017 to 2022), played 353 games in the NHL and scored 222 goals (an average of 0.63 goals per game).
Gretzky played 721 NHL games and scored 302 goals from 1988 to 1998 (averaging 0.42 goals per game) at the age of 27-36. Ovechkin, aged 27-36 (from 2012 to 2022), played 721 games in the NHL and scored 441 goals (an average of 0.61 goals per game).
During these periods, Ovechkin won against Gretzky in the number of goals scored.
In addition, rules contributed to increased performance in the 1980s. Goalkeepers wore narrow shin guards, less sturdy helmets, and play skates, rather than goalie skates, as they are now. Video replays in the league were introduced only in 1991, when Gretzky had already crossed the equator of his career and stopped scoring goals with automatic bursts. In 1993, they changed the rules for playing with a high stick - it was forbidden to lift it above the crossbar, and before that it was allowed to swing up to the shoulder. In 1996, when Gretzky was three years away from retiring from the sport, a trapezoid was introduced - they outlined a section of ice on which the field was forbidden to contact the goalkeepers.
Ovechkin also won against Gretzky in the number of seasons in which they became the best scorers.
Number of seasons in which the player became the best scorer:
1. Alexander Ovechkin - 9 seasons
2. Bobby Hull - 7 seasons
3. Phil Esposito - 6 seasons
4. Wayne Gretzky - 5 seasons
5. Gordie Howe - 5 seasons
6. Maurice Richard - 5 seasons
7. Charlie Conacher - 5 seasons
8. Pavel Bure - 3 seasons
9. Teemu Selanne - Season 3
10. Mario Lemieux - 3 seasons
11. Brett Hull - 3 seasons
12. Bill Cook - 3 seasons
13. Babe Dy - 3 seasons
Wayne Gretzky has never been a top scorer since 1991, i.e. when, after the collapse of the USSR and the Department of Internal Affairs, European players poured into the NHL, and competition increased in the NHL itself! And his performance has dropped significantly.
ох, и написал, сейчас сяду изучать
добавил: ну да, все так и есть, по-моему еще размеры игровой площадки и ворот поменялись, кроме того игра защитников и вратарей стала техничнее, труднее стало забивать из-за размеров и скорости перемешения вратаря, многие голы Овечкина буквально силовая борьба через плотный строй защиты
Absolutely true 👍
В токой момент думаешь о голосовом комментарии
💯💯💯💯💯
I don’t understand any of the Russian in the comments section but let’s gooooo Ovi! You’ve got fans all over the world! 🇨🇦
@Simona Makedonia for some reason I don’t have that
🇨🇦 loves OV!
Ps: I can see the translations through the UA-cam app on iPad. Doesn’t show up on Windows using Microsoft Edge for some reason.
@@simonamakedonia7991i believe it's only on mobile in the app
Александр Великий по праву! Саша, вперёд!!!
Удачи тебе Великий Александр!!! Несомненно ты побъёшь рекорд Грецки!!! Слава тебе Alex !!!
The real great one. Get that title!! I hope whenever he plays flames we just let him get 40 goals. Id be absolutely ok with it
Haha, maybe then we can finally rebuild
Can't wait to see him beat Gretzky's record!
Me too!
Gretzky 894
Obi 800
Won’t be this season but next season Ovi will pass the great one I hope Gretzky there in the house at that moment that be something
@@ryans413 to do that he needs 50 this season and in the next his best result of all time - 65 goals. Are you seriously now? Or you just can't calculate? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I feel older now that I watched this and realized that I actually got to watch 2/3 of his career… I’m a Leafs fan but Ovie is a legend and I cant deny that. I’m lucky to see one of the greatest goal scorers in NHL history (if not the greatest)
Браво ! Если ОВИ будет играть до 52 лет как ХОУ Боюсь Сказать сколько будет У ОВИ шайб !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ты с дуба рухнул? В современной НХЛ до стольких лет никто играть не будет, это просто невозможно. До 40-42 вполне себе он может доиграть.
Godspeed Ovie
Легенда! Рад видеть это всё в живую! ❤
Are u guys all Russian. And is that russian
Команда: скажи речь,
Саня: Ну, что сказать?,
Кузя: Скажи, Кузя - молодец.
))
-Speech! Speech!
-I am happy, obviously, to score a goal.
-Whoaaaa
Let's go for 900!
Кuch & beer = Superspeech !!
If it weren’t for the lockouts, great 8 would be the greatest today
The best of the best!
2:46 wow that was a beautiful goal to pass Mario Lemieux! I forgot about that one. Ovechkin has so many highlight goals that a lot of them get forgotten because they aren’t featured in his top 10.
ЛЕГЕНДА 2.5 сезона и рекорд будет новый
Hat Pick : 800 goals for Ovi.
Dang it: Kane just crash into the board.
Greatest pure goal scorer in nhl history period.
i remember him in mid 2000s palying against sweden and i thought he was just another young diva from russia.. well, here i am getting goosebumps on his achievements over 15 years later
lol
@@Regalman Не описайся.
Саша, жги еще !!!!
Given that not only do goalies have better equipment than most of the 20th century, but your average goal is much better. The fact that Ovie is passing Howe is remarkable. It will be a sad day when Ovie retires, but I hope he can at least be with earshot of Gretsky. Ovie is the greatest hockey player ever.
as an oilers fan i truely love ovi
The number 8 simply fits the Great Eight. 888 goals would be cool. But I still want to see 898
haha agree, that would satisfy my ocd 😄
I want 900
Дай БОГ,чтобы Саня 900-голов забил!!
Величайший хоккеист.
That moment when I didn’t catch Gretzky’s game, but I see a cooler legend in real life.
Should have done it already, damn lockouts and covid shorten seasons.
good job alex!!
Павел Буре , Овечкин 👍 сколько замечательных спортсменов Россия подарила мировому спорту !
Жаль, что Павел сыграл так мало матчей в НХЛ! Его статистика могла быть на высочайшем уровне! А Александру только Вперёд!!!
Greatest ever
Спасибо SPORTSNET за отличный клип о Саше!
my goat!!!!!!!
95 to go. And he's showing no signs of slowing down. I think he's going to do it.
Given something does not stop him it seems likely. He turned 37 in september and Jagr was still playing in NHL until he was 42 so even if Ovi suddenly slows down a bit theres still time
@@Rosterized Jagr played until 45. Ovi needs just 2,5(maybe 3,5) seasons to beat Gretzky. At that time he will be 39.
Ови наш СуперСтар, жги напалмом!!!
See you soon for 900 🎉
Crazy how he breaks most of these milestones against teams with a majority of blue in their uni's
В конце прям до слез
He as going to be one of these super stars who was so amazing and playing at such a too level who will all of a sudden crash and burn and not fade out gracefully. Will there be enough time for 94 and 95 more before that will (not if) happens??
“The Great 8 express” epic 😂
Походу Месси с Овечкиным на одном космическом корабле прилетели на нашу планету с планеты Гол
If he didn't have those down years from 2010 and 2012, he would have the record by next season.
Третяк 3 кратный олимпийский 10 кратный чемпион мира ещё какие-то 90 шайб и ты круче всех дай бог тебе здоровья
Love hockey 🏒 = Love Ovi
Лучший!
Hard to imagine he is the only Russian player to get 500 goals and now more.
Pavel Bure should have been first, but endless knee injuries stoped him at 437. He was just 32 at that time.
@@T-Alex81 facts We had so many dynamic Russian scorers in this league, Ovechkin is now the greatest Russian and Greatest goal scorer period. Im shocked. Do you think if Mario never had back and health issues he would have had 1000 goals?
@@Regalman well, probably yes. He had 0,75 goals per game, that's crazy, of course different Era, but still.
OV is the only player who made the 2 best goalies of his era (Hank and Price) look very ordinary on a regular basis. That alone is just...wow
Fun fact, Austin Matthews was at the game of the "greatest" goal against AZ
wow really? 😄 haha, what is the chance
@@almosTalented Right. Kind of crazy. He lived in AZ and had talked about how awesome it was to see that goal live.
Саша коасатуля.... с Динамо за него болею.... почти все матчи смотрю.... жаль что ночью ))) жду 900.... удачи ему
Есть "800" далее как получится-истории однозначно!
I am so lucky to have lived through the Gretzky / Lemieux years and the Crosby / Ovechkin years and now McDavid and ?? Bedard ?? - is it Draisaitl?
94 back from Gretzky
Ovi goals from 720p, to 1080p, to 4K
Дядя Саша в деле)
goat
Wouldn't it be fitting if he passes Gordie Howe when the Caps play Detroit on Monday?
Bro it feels like last week he broke the record for most goals by a russian.. he scores fast lol
HOWE DID THAT HAPPEN?😀
Ови крут .
Looks like not for a long time we will have ONE player, who pass 900
Would Jagr be #1 (right now) if he didn't go play in the KHL?
Jagr also played like 4-5 years of his prime overseas so he’d probably be well in the 800’s as well.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Давай Саня ! 96 шайб осталось заколотить !
Russian Bear... Or true Viking from old times.
I WOULD STILL TAKE AN 18 YEAR OLD MARIO OVER OVIE OR GRETZKY.BOTH GRETZ AND OVIE HAD THERE HEALTH.MARIO WAS GODLY.
Atta Boy Ovi!, make Russia proud!
my first number on my first house league team ever was #8 when I was 5 years old, not a washington fan but Ovechkin will always be my favorite player in the NHL
Here are some differences between ovi and Gretzky. Oki built like a brick building, Gretzky built like a girl. Ovi had a long healthy career, Suter broke gretzkys back in the 1989 Canada cup, then had back problems for the rest of his career. Ovi give me puck I shoot. If Gretzky wasn't busy getting 2000 assists we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Free Navalny!
🇷🇺🏆🅾️☑️ℹ️
SORRY NOT THE BEST GOAL SCORER..... EXPECTS HIS TEAM TO JUST SET HIM UP TO SCORE..... OVIE IS AN OVIE FIRST PLAYER WE WILL TALK LATER AFTER OVIE MAKES HIS FIRST PASS
He supports Putin, personally and professionally. I lost all respect for this man in February when he refused to remove his photo with Putin as his profile photo. What are you supporting here exactly?
Team Putler............
It’s a shame this Putin lover is going to break Gordies record
Putin's friend should be banned from playing any sport in North America. Slava Ukraine.

Так держать!
I don't know will he pass the Great One or not.. (Will).. But I know with 100¹⁰⁰% that it would pass a long time when someone will close to him by goals for one franchise..
to be continued...
He will beat Gretzky
