The " I dont wanna bet against OVI" relatable. I take the over 42 goals as he is eyeing down goals. doesn't get to go to 4 nations thats his focus and his team is there to help. Mark it book it OVI GETS IT DONE THIS YEAR
Now he needs 42 goals in 75 games even if he gets hot that is big ask for his age. Likely he misses 3 games at least. Last time he hit 42 in 65 games period in 2022-2023 but he has slowed down from that.
@@fk4410 well it didn't look good after 7 games. But now it's starting look possible. Still early though. I was certain he hit 50+ 2 years ago when he had 29 in 41 games. But he finished only with 42 cause injuries and his father passing. So it's still lot of goals and Ovi was monster that year. The team sucked and no-one else didn't even score 20 goals. But caps are good this season might make it just possible if he stays healthy.
Crazy that as a teenager in a south shore Massachusetts town barber shop I would read about Rookie Ovi in the magazines. Lmao. Magazines. Not that anyone read them, family owned and operated Italian barbershop. Everybody is talkin 😂.
He has 36 goals in his last 53 games played which is a 56 goal pace over 82 games. He needs 29 goals with 65 games left which is a 37 goal pace over 82 games.
Its an interesting 'record watch' but its a little bit downgraded because the Capitals sole purpose this season and last is to try to get this record - not to try to play competitive hockey.
I see Ovechkin at about 30 goals this season. I imagine he will miss a few games with injuries or play several games injured. I see Florida coming back to the Final, but I agree that the Rangers will be very tough. I'm not sure about Edmonton. Obviously, they have the best player in the league and a very good supporting cast. Not 100% on defense and goaltending. Dallas is a huge threat. I would add the Avs, but they need depth and reliable goaltending. Finally, I expect Nashville to be a solid playoff team this season. I feel the East wins the Cup though. Toronto might win a round, but won't beat Florida. Vancouver will be a bit behind last year, but a healthy Demko makes them a playoff threat. They could knock off Edmonton. Winnipeg might not even make the playoffs.
Lindros was a unicorn because he did it all. Michkov is going to be elite and flyers fans should be pumped, but Lindros was dominant with his skills and feared for his physicality. Michkov is much more likely to have a longer career though, and he's gonna pile up points. Too bad the flyers don't have any elite players to put him with atm
@@angushiltz4880 they are 2 different players, and ovi is nowhere near getsky is what im saying. just look assist record too lel. people get butthurt from reality and i like it
Don't be silly all the caps have even existed for for the last 3 seasons is everyone passing him the puck at all opportunities and him gliding around for 2 full mins on the PP waiting to be fed shooting opportunities. He will get there. He doesn't deserve it but he will
@@SHSNJROTC Sorry but I can't see Ovechkin getting more than 25 goals this coming season tops & that's if he plays at least 80 out of 82 games cause father time is going to catch up with him a little this season
@@GreekboyyD I think Ovechkin gets exactly 23 goals this year that is my prediction so that would be 876 goals I believe but he will eventually pass Gretzky
LOL, the US invades countries to steal their natural ressources, install puppet goverments and create chaos wherever they go. Easily worst country on the planet, with terrible leaders, right or left. And Canada is a socialist hellhole with zero leadership and incompetent leaders and a dying economy. Look outside your echo chamber before spitting on others with your limited knowledge of the situation.
@@hackermike31Yep. The Gretzky Glazers are embarrassing. He won 4 Cups on an all-star team and won nothing after he left the Oilers. The Oilers won a Cup after he left.
Are you morons here arguing Ovi is a better PLAYER than Gretzky!?! That's the dumbest crap I've heard in a while. Ovi may be a better goal scorer, more physical, however those are the ONLY aspects he's better at period. I think Lemieux was far better than both of them, now argue that too and tell me Ovi is better🙄
Canada have 580000 hockey players! USA have 500000 hockey players today! Ovechkin's Russia have only 80000 hockey players today! Canada and USA should have 15 guys who have scored over 800 goals like Ovechkin today! In 1980s NHL 8 goals per game! Ovechkin ERA only 5,3-6 goals per game NHL! Hank Aaron hit 715 home runs in 1974 and Aaron got million letters and 70% these letters were negative racist against Aaron! These racists do not stop! Only reason you are racist because Ovechkin is Russian! We must these racists now!!
People are morons! Gretzky retired at 38 with the record! You take 2-3 more years to do it your not breaking the record! Longevity doesn't make you a champion or better than the great one!!😅
Oh eff off would you? Ovechkin had two seasons reduced by lockouts and the 2019-2020 almost completely season shut down due to the pandemic. Everything was pitted against him to get the record, his father dies in 2023 which was a huge inspiration for him and naturally slows him down a bit. But this season his old goal scoring self is getting back again, lets wait and see and appriciate history in the making. Dont be a whining bitch, you make Canada look worse than Trudeau in blackface.
Ovechkin may break the record but it won't stand very long. Will soon be overtaken by #34 by such an enormous margin that it may never be broken again. Ovechkin was never a great well rounded hockey player, he's a floater, he's selfish, bad hockey sense, no defensive upside, bad skater, bad puck handler, but nobody ever talks about that. I'm surprised he even won a cup.
Lets be real...If it weren't for the lockout seasons Ovi would have smashed it already.
7 goals after 11 games this season.
8 goals after 43 games last season.
He’s on better track than he was the start of last year

Im starting to doubt no goals in three games.

Ovi would have scored 1500 in gretzkys era
Most goals after the age of 30:
1) Howe -383
2) Bucyk - 347
3) Ovechkin - 338
4) Esposito - 337
5) Ratelle - 311
6) Selanne - 305
7) Hull - 299 (Brett)
8) Messier - 280
9) Jagr - 265
10) Mullen - 258
Go Ovie,from a flyers fan.....
Also from a flyers fan … nothing but cheers for the great 8.
Yes he will, history to be made this season
He has 36 goals in his last 53 games played which is a 56 goal pace over 82 games.
He needs 29 goals with 65 games left which is a 37 goal pace over 82 games.
6 goals after 10 games this season.
6 goals after 33 games last season.
Not a question of “if” but “ when” . But we already knew that.
Its an interesting 'record watch' but its a little bit downgraded because the Capitals sole purpose this season and last is to try to get this record - not to try to play competitive hockey.
Says who? They made playoffs last year and should be better
@@BarDownBoys says the zero effort they, and especially Ovi, made after they made the playoffs.
@@alanpaul9481bru they just ran into a juggernaut team
@@BarDownBoysAmazing how dumb some of these posters are.😂
@@fk4410 I don't think the team they played won...or got to the finals...I'm not saying they weren't going to lose, but they barely even played.

Doubtful, I think his 40+ goal seasons are over.
I think it will be early in the season next year.
My prediction: Nov 15th 2025
I think he definitely COULD do it this year, but it will probably happen next year. If not, he'll keep playing until he has at least 900.
Michkov is gonna be the best flyer since Lindros.
Lindros was a unicorn because he did it all. Michkov is going to be elite and flyers fans should be pumped, but Lindros was dominant with his skills and feared for his physicality. Michkov is much more likely to have a longer career though, and he's gonna pile up points. Too bad the flyers don't have any elite players to put him with atm
i’ll remember this in june
29 away with 65 games to go
I think he's gonna get more than 30, but it's a big ask. We'll be waiting one more season.
6 goals in his first 10 games so far with 13 points.
Last season he had 6 goals after 33 games.
There may not be any russians left by the team he reaches it. Ukrainians too.
Yes he will
Lane Hutson is going to win the Calder.
He won’t score that many goals. No way not going to happen
🤡🤡🤡
Unlikely.
10 in his first 14 has taken it down to 32.
My husband the prince is in this case
if you count the numbers of year they played, he's nowhere near the record goal/game ratio. So there's no record here even if he gets more 'goal'
Please don't reproduce.
What are you even trying to say LOL
Not sure what you are trying to say here. Gretzky and Ovi have the exact same goals per game average of 0.60.
You are stupid
@@angushiltz4880 they are 2 different players, and ovi is nowhere near getsky is what im saying. just look assist record too lel. people get butthurt from reality and i like it

If he tries. Yes. He barely tried last season.
Not this year, next year.
100% he will break the record
But not this season .Maybe he will do 25 to 30
30+ as usual if healthy.
Ovechkin definitely needs 97.5% 2 full seasons like 159 games to just barely beat the record
🤡😂
Don't be silly all the caps have even existed for for the last 3 seasons is everyone passing him the puck at all opportunities and him gliding around for 2 full mins on the PP waiting to be fed shooting opportunities.

30+ for Ovechkin this season if healthy.

Gretzky is as much a comrade as Ovi
Not unless he plays with Mcdavid
Strome is doing just fine with him.
At least Gretzky wasn’t a cherry picker.
@@Guitarman19566 Gretzky was a stats padder and was always running up the score against those 🗑️ goalies in the 1980s
He is nowhere near the player that Gretzky was. He has one ability, and that's it.
Gretzky had how many hall of farmers around him ?Ovie mostly only had Backstrom,and still is going fill the net....
@@hackermike31Gretzky turned most of them into HOF'ers. Ovie's great, but come on now
