Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 3)

[Sam Spade]

Also, his 20th goal of the season means he has 15 consecutive 20 goal seasons to start his career. Got to be an exclusive club.

Tons of people have done 20 multiple times, 30, 40, 50 is where it's at:

What I meant was consecutive 20 goal seasons to start a career.

I think 15 consecutive seasons has to be close to the record.

Jagr, Dionne, Sundin all had 17 to start a career, Gartner had 15 to start his career (they were all 30 goal seasons as well).

There will never be another Alex Ovechkin

The thing that stands out to me about that list is there's only one guy who plays for only one team. Gordie How played for two, but look at Gartner (5) Jags (9) and Gretzky (4). How do those guys bounce around sooooo much and Ovi stays right here... its pretty awesome how lucky we are.

Quick note. Ov has 20 in Oct/Nov. He has 19 last season and 18 the season before. So far, right on track

Yes. He is awesome and he is all ours.

Not unless they enlarge the nets and drastically shrink goalie equipment. That and allow cyborgs to play.

Well....Considering Ov's genetics I would not sleep on Sergei in 20 years

We'll have to time the tank just right. Right about when CMM, Protas and Fever retire.

 

[Roshi]

Yeah I can dig it. 12 years after his retirement as the all time best goal scorer and five time cup winner grey-haired gentleman mr. Alex O. steps on the stage to call out 1st overall for Caps - Sergei Ovechkin - and then makes his hot stick celebration after it.

Howe has the record for most goals with one franchise. (786)

Only 109 to go for Ovie.

Also, Ovie has the 15th most points for a single franchise. Guy Lafleur next at 1,246.

wow...mythical 800 looking closer and closer....

still time left for him to go to confession...

 

[Brucelenok]

Looking at the main board now and how people praising McDavid & Draisaitl and how many points this duo has got me thinking... How truly dominant Ovi was between 07-10, and having that stretch 90 points in 54 games I believe in that era how special is that? McDavid needs like 39 points in the next 25 games to match that and thats considering he plays with Draisaitl and he plays I believe in higher scoring era. Ovi is a truly truly special athlete especially back then.

Can anybody provide me with an adjusted stat if 09-10 Ovi would play today? Thanks in advance

Ovie's adjusted stats for 2009-10 are:

72 games played
55 goals
62 assists
117 points

Over 82 games, that would be:
63 goals
71 assists
134 points

Wings fan here, just saw Ovi used a blowtorch on the bench last night, hahaha.

Photo caption in Russian accent: "I'm greatest goal scorer (of my genertaion, possibly of all-time). Cindy Crysby leads in secondary assists. I must break him".

Gotta love Ovechkin!

 

[txpd]

People are funny. Freaking out about Ov retiring the minute he breaks the record.

Anyone who watched his interview with Cohn and didn't see his joking sense of humor, should really just never watch hockey ever again, too serious.

Ovi is hilarious. There's nothing about him not to love!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Yeah zero chance he scores and walks off into the sunset.

I hope he becomes an NHL/game ambassador like 99. He’s got the personality.

1. Just watched Reirden's daily presser. He spent most of it gushing over Alex Ovechkin with a huge grin on his face.
2. When he stops playing I expect he will have a serious role with the team. Ive said this that I expect he will own a piece of the team and will be an assistant GM. Leonsis owns it but its Ov's team. I expect it to remain that after he stops playing.

Weird. I thought Rierden was self-serving and aloof.

Ah....I see. You say this because I said that he talks about himself a lot. He does. I never said that was ALL he talked ab0ut. LOL. Aloof? Never said anything like that. If you are going to criticize, get it right.
