crazy to think tiger williams played 962 games in his career... and spent a total of 66 of those games in the box.
"I like hockey, except the hockey part." - Tiger Williams, I suppose.
I'm not sure why but it took me ages to not read this as Tiger Woods and sit there being confused
3966pim = 66gms. A lot of demonic #'s.
I could easily see Fleury getting 3+ shutouts.
I could also easily see him getting 0.
Talk to us again when? TALK TO US AGAIN WHEN??!?
talk to you again.................later
Could be soon. Could be later. We will never know.

Bwahaha
Was going to say the same thing 😂
Tony Esposito was awesome
Worth noting re: Ovechkin - He did pick up his scoring in the back half of the season (had he maintained his goal/game percentage from the first 4 months, he would've finished with 16 goals instead of 31; Had he maintained his goal/game percentage from the last 3 months? 50 goals).
So as you inferred: It'll likely depend on how serious he was with his offseason workouts, now that he's back in DC for informal skates ahead of training camp...
Just as or maybe more important is where his head is.
@@Fatazz Absolutely!
I’m wondering if he actually gets there myself.
McDavid is already only the 2nd player in the entire NHL history that has an adjusted points total over 1000 in their first 9 seasons. Jagr didn't do it, Lemieux didn't do it, neither Ovi, Crosby, Selanne, Bossy, or everyone else except for 1. Gretzky. And even still, Gretzky gets a massive penalty because he played in the high scoring 80s and still had 300 adjusted points more than McDavid at that point in his career. That is how good Gretzky was.
You weren't allowed to hit him tho. 😂
@@fistmcstrongpunch2776 It was almost impossible hit him in the first 10 years. He was so elusive. Eyes behind his head. If you didn't watch him, game to game, back in the day, it's simply impossible to grasp how good he really was.
McDavid gets a massive penalty for putting a band-aid on his beard
Adjusted point totals aren't real point totals.
You can’t say adjusted points and then say ‘the high scoring 80s’ - the whole point of adjusting was to equalize scoring across the league across decades
NO SHANNON! Get that workout in! YOU CAN DO IT! 💪🏻
So McDavid will likely hit 1100 points this season. It's like he's playing NHL on a lower difficulty than everybody else.
Ryan Suter is 56 games away from 1,500 games played.
As a blues fan, he better not get anywhere close to that.
My hope is Ovi gets within 20 goals of Gretz this year, comes back 2025-26 to pass him and ends at 899. Then feels he has to come back again the next season to pass 900
It would be cool if Malkin can hit 500 goals and 800 assists in the same game. Also, when Ovi reach 700 assists, he will be a tantalizing 1261 assists behind Gretzky! Go for it?
As a Pens season ticket holder, saw the last game of the season is at home this year vs Washington. Ovi scoring #41 playing against Sid to close out the season? I don't think I'd complain about that.
Point taken.
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.
Who cares about quicker Gretzky played in the 80s do era adjusted goals and it's not even a question
@@simoncohen9323WHO are these ridiculous children talking about a made up "stat" that means absolutely nothing.
"Adjusted goals" is pure steaming BS kid.
The idea the league is tougher today is just soooo comical.
@@yoholmes273 Agreed, nobody else scored 900 goals and 3000 points. If it was that easy, why did nobody else do it? Cheers
@@yoholmes273agreed that league was brutal In the 80s it was concussion central.
Ovi should also hit 1600 points this year as well
"............ soon!"
Love this video idea, Shannon! Great job!
Ovi is sitting at 1550 points as well
If Im not mistaken, old Ovie on a crap, injured team is still a 30+ goal scorer.
He's gonna get there, or very close, this year.
ya'll overeacting to Ovi "only" scoring *31* goals
he literally scored 33 in 2016 and still went on to multiple 50 goal seasons including a 49 and 48 goal season each
he lost his best linemate and the team is a shell of what it once was, Ovi is still producing at an elite level
True. My money is on he gets it by seasons end. Itll be close.
Shans acting like hes now a 20 goal scorer.
I agree. I dont see Ovi passing Gretzky this year. Most likely next year
Cam Fowler is 26 games away from 1000. Kind of more of a personal milestone for Ducks fans.
*Edit* Just read the bottom note, my bad.
He’s probably not even going to reach 1000 on the ducks
I think realistically speaking, for Ovi to beat the goal record next year, he's gonna have to score at least 20-25 goals this year, which trending wise may be a tough ask. He's gone down by about 10 goals per year for the last 3 years from 50 - 42 - 31, so if that trend continues and he only scores around 20 (or even less than 20), it might mean he won't have enough to reach it in his final year.
45, in a wheelchair, stationed in front during the powerplay. he breaks the record.
It's hard to really say with him (while I can agree, the record probably gets beaten next year) He had a very slow start last season, if he can have a strong start, that's totally POSSIBLE that he gets it this year.
If capitals just keep feeding him there is no way for Ovi not to score 20 goals.
Very doable
He scored at a 52-goal pace after the All-Star break though so he definitely still has what it takes. It’s hard to predict how he comes out of the gates this season but, really, continuing that hot streak early and making up for last season’s slow start would make him breaking the record sometime in the next 2 seasons a foregone conclusion.
The thing about Ovechkin is that every team in the league knows where he scores from (sort of like Stamkos), and yet he still manages to score.
If he can stay healthy, I say he passes Gretz for the record, but I don't think it will be this year.
Ovi is breaking the record Thursday March 20, 2025 at home vs Philly.
Dylan Larkin gets his 300th assist this season as well. Not as big a number but that's whom I watch.
why not just do a year end milestone video? i love these
Malkins first game 2G 2A
"talk to you again.." click (ME) WHEN!?! WHEN WILL WE TALK AGAIN!??
I see Malkin in the thumbnail I click.
Also you didn't see the mustache Crosby grew last offseason - he looked like the owner of a candy shop!
Joe Pavelski and Eric Staal have retired without reaching the 500th goal plateau, but we don't have to wait another 5 to 10 seasons for either Auston Matthews, or Connor McDavid, to become the 50th member of the NHL 500 goals club. We have a winner, it's John Tavares of the New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs! John Tavares will be the 50th member of the NHL 500 goals club, and it will most likely happen during the 2025-2026 NHL season. John Tavares has played 15 seasons in the NHL, with no signs of retiring before his 20th season. He has 456 goals, which makes him 44 goals shy of 500. His highest scoring season was 2018-2019 (47 goals), and his lowest scoring season was 2020-2021 (19 goals). John Tavares scoring all 44 goals during the 2024-2025 NHL season to reach 500 is highly unlikely, but you never know. In the last three seasons, John Tavares has scored 27, 36, and 29 goals. He has to average 22 goals per season for the next two seasons to reach 500, and become the 50th member of the NHL 500 goals club. Evgeni Malkin will become the 48th member (498 goals), and Patrick Kane will become the 49th member (471 goals), of the 500 goals club, during the 2024-2025 NHL season.
WE'LL TALK TO YOU AGAIN WHEN? WHEN???
It's going to be interesting. 🤔
I hope Kessel plays this year and get 1,000
I've never seen a player with a greater nose for the net then Brett Hull... And hands over sticks the best one-timer that's ever graced this league...
It’s crazy to think that McDavid will hit 1000 and 1100 in the same season 🤯
I still can't help but wonder how much higher Sid's totals would be if not for those concussions
The 48th, 49th, and 50th 500+ Goals Club Members
48. 498 - Evgeni Malkin (2 goals shy)
49. 471 - Patrick Kane (29 goals shy)
50. 456 - John Tavares (44 goals shy)
Will this be the first season that Marchand doesn't piss off at least one person?
The Rangers have 2982 wins and they will become the 5th Original Six franchise to reach 3000 wins, total in history. MTL is first at 3556 followed by BOS 3404, TOR 3104 and DET 3056.
By the way, the Leafs is the team with the most losses 2871. Fortunately for them, the Hawks (2852) have been closing them in the last few years.
Wait you missed the word "soon" at the end there. Unacceptable!! :D
Man i wish ovechkin didnt lose those games for covid and lockout
Marchand is 71 pts shy of 1000
Selanne kept scoring after 40, but it started becoming more on the power play.
I still wonder how Selanne got (edit: 76) as a rookie. Insane.
76 😉
Shout out as well to Drew Doughty for being 31 points away from 700!
mathews only needs 52 goals to meet sundins career goals as a leaf, 53 for the highest career goals as a leaf ever
10:05-10:50 interesting point also funny at 10:30
Crosby could go on for as long as Jagr!
That’s what she said
Realistically Ovi needs three more seasons to get past Gretzy and even then it is going to be a real struggle for him (it's not impossible of course he just rolls back the years - but unlikely ). Good luck to him whether he succeeds or not, but the worry is the Capitals fixate on that record rather than improving their team.
Lmfao
treating Utah as a rookie team is a joke and another stupid move by Bettman, the owners boy.
If Crosby gets 82 points this season he breaks Gretzkys record whom he’s tied with for Most Point Per Game season in nhl history at 19. He’s entering his 20th season and has never averaged below 1.0ppg!
One team specific milestone that should happen this year, barring injury - Binnington should become the winningest Blues goalie ever early this season, passing his agent (Liut)
Dang...that just really exemplifies just how TRASHY the goaltending of the BLUES franchise has historically been.
@@yoholmes273 not always trashy, but the team does not keep goalies long and the best ones tend to get here near the end of their career. I mean, just look at a list of all the Blues goalies, particularly since 2000 and there will be a lot that you didn’t realize ever played with the Blues
McD is probably going to hit 1100 too.
If Ovechkin targets a 40 goal season, he should get Gretzky by the end of the year
Today I learned Bob has more wins than Quick
Kucherov will most likely pass Stamkos, Tavares, and Huberdeau in assists this year.
He has more huberdeau already
I am an open-minded hockey fan and love to see all players and teams do well BUT... The only milestone I am concerned about this year is the NY Rangers winning the first cup since before all their players were born. I feel like this is going to be a pretty interesting season for everyone, and I can't wait for it to start.
Maybe a milestones reached in x(month) video.
Edit: Like a month in review - everything significant that happened last month.
Ovie hits 1600pts also
Which team has the goals as a team?
Malkin’s a great player but he’s two short! 🎉
Kucherov 1000 points will happen!
Let’s go Avs! MacKinnon for president!
This is a tasty one :)
Kuch can get 1000 this year too.
He can, but needs 127 points to do it which is a lot.
@@TheHockeyGuy Next year's 👍
@@TheHockeyGuy A lot but clearly possible for a guy like Kuch.
@@TheHockeyGuy so.. only 17 points less than he got last year.. ;)
@@ryaneldred55 Without Stamkos though
I think McDavid and MacKinnon will both reach two milestones each. McDavid not only getting to 1000, but also 1100 and MacKinnon going past 900 and reaching 1000.
A part of me want to say that Ovi will step it up this season and actually pass Gretzky, but realistically he shouldn't be able to. He'll get close (unless he gets a long term injury) and then do it next year. He should even get into the top 10 of most points next season.
Crosby will get into the top 10 of all time in assists. He will also pass Sakic for most points and slowly get closer to Lemieux.
I doubt ovi scores 91 points in next two seasons! They will be all goals so less assists as they feed him for record
1550 pts for Ovi
I don’t think Ovi gets there
Marchand needs 71 points to get to 1000. He will have triple 1000 points, games and PIMs. Not bad for a rat!
Ovi gets it this season
Hey Shannon, stupid question as you may have addressed it (multiple times) but how do you feel about that change in hockey from the high PIMs to the more modern game? I grew up in the 90s and remember the game feeling overall rougher but the violence still seems to spike at times throughout the season and the course of play, more a bunch of punches at once instead of just body slams every check. Just curious how you feel about it either positively or negatively.
116 points for Kane this season? I'll take it.
I love your malkin jersey where did you get it?
I have this feeling that Crosby’s going to play until he gets 2000 points.
Honestly kinda hope this video becomes a regular thing for the off-season, where you just talk about milestones players are close too.
vasy is a 1st ballot HOF easy
I think Ovi has a breakout year and beats Gretzky this year! Last year was an off year, but in 22-23 he had 42 and in 21-22 he hit 50. Also, in both seasons, he didn't play all 82.
I'm sure Ovi will pass his goal total, but he hasn't been exciting to watch in years, like 10 years. Tons of one-time powerplay goals are important to help win, but very boring to watch in my opinion. He doesn't create play and make other players better, and that's what I like best.
Don't foreget matthews 32 goals away from 400
+ Sidney Crosby - 600 goals milestone / 1600 points milestone
+ Evgeni Malkin - 500 goals milestone / 800 assists milestone / 1300 points milestone
+ Alexander Ovetchkin - 700 assists milestone / 1600 points milestone (currently -50 points) [Note: 42 goals to win Wayne Gretzky's ATG record won't happen this season]
+ Connor McDavid - 1000 points milestone
+ Jean-Marc Fleury - defeating Roberto Luongo in shut-outs ATG record. 2 to tie and 3 to beat (78+ SHO)
+ Jonathan Quick & Sergey Bobrovsky - 400 wins milestone
Ovi might hit 7000 shots before he hits 895 goals. He really isn't the scorer that most people think he is. If Ovi just had Malkin's shooting percentage of 13.5%, he would have 895 goals right now.
Nobody said he was accurate they just said he can score
@@simoncohen9323 Nobody is accusing Malkin of being anywhere near accurate either. That's the problem. There's just been so many players in Ovi's time that are better scorers, they just don't take the ridiculous amount of shots he does.
@@dannycarlow8204 they arent better scorers they just have better opportunities and take them less if they took 7k shots there percentages will go down the reason ovi isn't at 25 percent is because he takes so many shots while others like malkin take more conservative of shots comparably
@@dannycarlow8204 having a better scoring percentage on much lower shots doesn't make you a better scorer means you take less chances and take high chance shots ovi takes them same 5 shots as many times as he can and still scores more goals then anyone else
@@simoncohen9323 He is not an efficient shooter whatsoever. He's like Brett Hull, shoot as much as you can and hope like hell. They are happier taking the bad percentage shot than passing it to a teammate for a better percentage shot. As long as they are the one shooting the puck, they're happy. I think that if you can score 1 goal every 5 shots, you are a better scorer than someone who scores every 9 shots. Assuming both players are taking a good volume of shots, of course. Like when Stammer and Ovi each had 303 shots but Stamkos scored 22 more goals. Ovi has been in the top five in shots in 16 of his 19 years, leading the league in 11 of those years. Wayne was in the top five 6 times, leading the league in 4 of his 20 seasons. If Ovi would have just passed up the shot a little and settled for an assist, his team would have been much more successful, but team success wasn't his goal. To me, he is extremely selfish. The most goals Ovi ever led the league by was 13 and the most he ever led in shots by was 156. The most goals Wayne led by was 31 and the most he ever led in shots by was 33. Ovi just needs too many shots to be considered a great scorer for me. I consider Wayne a very good goal scorer, not a great one. Leon has three 50 goal seasons yet has never taken 280 shots in a season in his whole career. Ovi has taken less than 280 shots three times but never had more than 32 goals in those years.
what is this guy mumbling about this video
Okay, we get it, you’re sick. Do we really need to hear about it in EVERY video? 🙄
Prediction : Mackinnon will score is 900 point in the first game and is 1000 in the last game of the season. 🏒
