now you have me wondering has any 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 year old ever had a stretch like that (assuming no), then what’s the closest anyone has gotten in the 38-40 year window....to those totals?

Teemu Selanne was the first to come to mind in modern hockey.

35 years old: 40 goals (in 80 games)
36 years old: 48 goals (in 82 games)
37 years old: 12 goals (in 26 games)
38 years old: 27 goals (in 65 games)
39 years old: 27 goals (in 54 games)
40 years old: 31 goals (in 73 games)
41 years old: 26 goals (in 82 games)
42 years old: 12 goals (in 46 games)

then 9 in 64 before retirement. 232 goals after 35 in like 572 games, about a .4 goal per game pace.

So basically he cumulatively needs around the best run from 36-40/41 of all-time.......I expected something close to that.....if anyone can do it...it’s him.

Selanne was a fitness freak and Ovechkin is a pasta lover.

Ovechkin has the ability to do it for sure, but he has to be willing to put in the work off the ice.

Forgot about Teemu. Yeah, he was great back in the day.

Ovie wants to stay and I firmly believe the NHL has talked to him behind the scenes and have told him that they want him to try for the record.

Also they said he can spear some punks in the nuts if he needs to.

Frederic is a punk. Hopefully Willy flattens him next game.

Hilarious. Never seen anyone melt down like this, except maybe in the movie Slapshot.

This is random but was there ever a thread after Ovechkin KOd Svech? I can’t remember, I’m still relatively new but I would love to read the takes on that after reading the Frederic/Ovi thread

There was one on the main board. Most people enjoyed the fight but there were the usual snowflakes / Ovie haters who said he beat up a 19 year old kid and deliberately drove his head into the ice.

You can find some of those posters in the latest main thread about resident POS Trent Frederic - mostly Bruins fans by the look of things.

Lol @ the Penguins, bunch of idiots

There was a big thread on the main boards. You cant see view it, or I dont know how you can view it, because during the playoffs there is a whole new main board set up for the Stanley Cup Playoffs during that time every year. And I dont know if they archive it or what. But yeah it was a pretty long thread at that time.

Pittsburgh being better when Malkin or Crosby is out of the lineup is one of life’s great mysteries.
