So much good in here:
Don't give the Panthers any ideasCan we just draft him and sign him to a lifetime contract now?
Ovi alone atop the Rocket race with 22 now.
A real pleasure to have as a fan. Probably never be so lucky again if you’re a Caps fan. Drink in every minute you can.
Math isn't crazy
I had thought shoulder injuries (and he's stopped throwing his shoulder around so much especially this year)Ive been saying this. Its not nuts. Particularly as the league is trying to increase scoring. They have been successful in keeping sticks off of Ov's hands. We have thought his down seasons were at least partially because of wrist injuries from slashing. Nobody slashes hard at his hands anymore.

Would be amazing. But nope. Not even close. The Cup is a lifelong dream fulfilled.I can't even imagine the emotions I'd feel if he broke the record. It may even surpass what I felt when they won the Cup.
If he is going to catch Gretzky the next few seasons are going to be key. While he has been extremely durable it's always a crapshoot regarding injuries for a player in his late 30s. But if he gets to, say, 750 goals by the end of the 2020-21 season he will be in reach. Under this assumption he'd need to average 29 goals from ages 36-40 to pass Gretzky, or 21 goals from ages 36-42.
It's insane how good he is at scoring goals.
