700 goals. Legendary number 8.

 

[EHCler]

Finally the 700 is done.
Congrats Ovie.

Now back to business / winning.

 

[Sam Spade]

8 goals to Gartner, 8 goals to 50. 21 games to get there.

Man if he could pull it off.

Hi guys,

I am currently working on a video tribute of Ovi, after he scored his 700th goal.
I am searching for high quality videos all over the internet, especially of his rookie season. But it's not that easy to find good content.

Does anyone have an idea of where to get the old footage in good quality?

Any help would be much appreciated. Video will should be great, if I find the materials needed.

Thanks for your time. And go Caps!

Edit: Coach look through this thread there is a lot of video here you might like to use.

Brossoit should have kept the puck.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

701 and still having fun.

 

[OVITOMMY]

 

[Raikkonen]

One of the best vids imo.

 

[Raikkonen]

A good time to start crying is around Brett Hull's words how he live to watch Ovi score from the left circle.

 

[Raikkonen]

Weak video, no onions at all.

The early years are tough since it was just the beginning of HD. If my memory is correct comcast was the first to bring Capitals game in regular HD in Washington DC area (though not sure of the date). Cox Cable (another big DC metro area cable provider) didn't have it until the playoffs in 2008 (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalsinsider/cox-to-carry-games-in-hd.html). I vaguely remember maybe something that those first couple early years of AO there are no HD stuff kept but my mind could be playing tricks on me.

I still cant find it. TSN ran a Michael Farber video essay on Ov during the Tuesday night game. Among other things he said that Ovechkin is "the most beloved figure in the NHL" and that every morning Canadians are searching to see if Ov scored last night.

700: Ovechkin's journey towards Mount Gretzky

You need to use a VPN though if you are in the U.S.

a VPN? But that is it. Imagining a Canadian on a Canadian network saying that about Ovechkin

 

[Raikkonen]

If it was true Sheifele should have been punched Laine for the lack of respect for Ovi.

Ovie is just lovable. He has won over many Canadians. The Canadian media, they are coming around finally.

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

2 goals and one assist for Ovie in the win over Minny, 4-3.

Ovie now with 45 goals on the season and 703 for his career.

Also now has 1274 points in his career tying him with Al MacInnis for 36th all time.

Plus, he scored his 260th career PP goal. 15 more to set the all time record.
