Does Ovechkin score 60 goals this year?

[SeanMoneyHands]

Would be impressive. Last time he did it was in 07-08 with 65.

No but I would be incredibly happy to be wrong.

NO! He will be lucky if he scores 50. He slowed down a lot after his hot start. Looks like more of a playmaker right now than a goalscorer.

He has to score 40 goals in 55 games in order to score 60 goals this season. Looks like impossible. Only Matthew's on a hot streak in North Division can do that in today's NHL.

I don't think he can get to 60 unless the heasts up 2-3 times and gets like 10goals/10 games each time . I think 50 is doable. Still crazy at his age and with his style of play.

 

[EXTRAS]

Everyone scores 60 this year. Scoring has gone up. It's different than doing it 10 years ago.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

No, but its crazy to think that had he not lost 2+ seasons due to lockouts+Covid, he may have passed Gretzky this year and had a legit shot at 1000 for his career.

Nah. Only one who has a chance to score 60 is Drai & I am not sure he will.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Probably not 60, but I think he gets 55 or so.

Never understand posts like these lol. So 57 is possible but not 60?

 

[Satoru Gojo]

55

Where did he say 60 was impossible? He said “probably not” and suggested he’s more likely to be a bit under. There’s nothing strange about it. If the poll was asking if he can hit 60 rather than if he will, then you’d have a point.

Lol no he hasn't, what are you even talking about? It would be astounding if he didn't hit 50 this year. The Caps PP isn't producing at all either, that isn't going to continue.

I don't think he's going to get 60 but he may come close.

 

[Khomutov]

No, but even 50 would be impressive at his age.

 

[KapG]

I say yes

 

[DowJones]

I dont think he will but I sure hope he does.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

60 is not out of the question. He's got 20 in 27, so he would just need 40 in the remaining 55 games. A few more hat tricks along the way will help.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

No, 60 is too far. He'll get 50 though.

No one is scoring 60 this season.

 

[tsujimoto74]

He might score 60 tonight alone if Dell is starting for Buffalo

He definitely did slow down goalscoring wise. He had 10 goals in 9 games & 19 goals in 22 games. Now he has 20 in 27 (currently playing his 28'th) games.

But he still racking up points (assists mostly).

Really? Still?

I wouldn't call it slowing down. All top goal-scorers go through hot streaks and not. He's scored less goals in his last ~7-8 games, but is just as likely to start another 5-6 game goal-scoring streak where he pots 8 any day. Call it slowing it down if this lasts over ~15-20 games that he's scoring a lot less.

I voted no - as others have said, 60 is too high, but I do think he hits 50

Pretty sure Matthews can do that in a normal season considering he actually did that the season before last and is on pace to do it again.

I would be more surprised to see him hit 60 than to see him fall below 50, but I think he atleast gets 50.

Ovi has only 1 goal in his last 6 games - definition of slowing down imho.
