      Будут-будут побиты. Вырастет новое поколение , забивающее в сезоне по 70-80 голов. Добавят матчей до 90-100.
      Но надо , чтобы этот талант попал в такую команду , как Эдмонтон 80-х. Там действовали по бразильской системе.
      Вы нам забиваете сколько сможете - а мы чуть больше.И там действительно россыпь талантов - Мессье-Курри-Коффи-Андерсон- и отдать могут и забить.
      Побьют - но видимо не при нашей жизни.

    Class act Wayne as always. But what are the records, it's just numbers after all. I think It's all about what you left behind. Ovi was always known as an "electric lightning bolt" and when he was younger he was hitting everything that moves and scoring and scoring like almost never seen before, and fans loved it. Hockey then changed a bit, Ovi changed, and now he's still known as a deadly sniper, heavy hitter and a fairly good playmaker also. Wishing Ovi the best recovery, the legacy continues!

The NHL returned to American television over-the-air TV markets. (Mario lemieux and co made a GREAT pick on that one as an owner... Moves like that saved the NHL from dipping into the lacrosse sport leagues of television ratings or something maybe)

    I like the fact that after all the decades of Gretzkys greatness and accolades his records are slowly being chipped away one by one being broken over time. For an athlete it seems he’s actually human after all and last year a few other of his records were surpassed such as the playoff assist record or the 40 or more goal seasons time it seems time is not an ally to him anymore. I admit some of the longer career records could take decades to break with another future superstar but it seems with Ovechkin, he’s the modern light in the universe of sports stars. 👍👍🥳

    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.

      He had almost 400 playoff points which happens to be more points then %95 of the rest of the leagues players get in an entire career. Ovi is not even close. Who cares who scored a few more goals? What matters is who had a bigger impact in the playoffs cause in the end it’s a pro sport and winning is truly all that actually matters.
