If Ovechkin scores tonight he'll hit 2 more impressive milestones!

[CupsOverCash]

Wonder how many years he has left in the tank. Hope he plays into his 40s like Jagr.

Ovechkin is an absolute monster - so glad he won his Cup and Conn Smythe last year.

I wish our generation could have appreciated him and Crosby more, instead of pinning them against each other and tearing them down.

The great thing about Mulletman is that he won't ever come back into this thread to edit that "late great" line.

 

[Ceremony]

So we're going to get a rematch of the Cup final tonight when Ovechkin takes on Vegas. Ovechkin still doesn't have a regular season goal against Vegas and if he manages to score he'll have at least a goal against all the other 30 teams in the League.

But what would be even more impressive is the fact that Ovechkin would tie the late great Bobby Hull in career goals with 610. If Ovechkin scores he would also do it in 57 regular season games less than Bobby Hull did, which would be a hard pill to swollow for most on the history board. This would pretty much end any discussion of Bobby Hull being a better all time player and goal scorer than Ovechkin.

And seeing as Ovechkin has been on fire to start the season and Vegas has been letting in goals left and right, there's a very good chance we're going to see Ovechkin have another historic night tonight!

Bobby Hull's record will be beaten. Bobby is defintately an expert at beatings so hes ready for it.

RIP in peace Bobby Hull

Yes it does. Ovechkin is better at everything and is the player you would want on your team today if you wanted to maximize your chance at winning a hockey game. That is a fact. Move along.

Well what a wondrous opinion and such an open minded method of communicating that with others.

I suspect the vast majority of experienced real hockey fans would differ with you. Lesser experienced fans tend to get swept into glitzy dazzle. More experienced fans understand the intricacies and nuances of the game which sways the learning curve they are undergoing to not quite grasp the complete picture.

Obviously I not commenting on you in particular as I do not know your level but this gives you the opportunity re-think your stance.

Are only experienced fans real?

 

[MaxV]

Done and done.

Congrats Ovy! Joe Sakic and Jerome Iginla are next.

This is the kind of pretentious bullshit that makes "a vast majority of experienced hockey fans" unbearable. If you think that any of the modern stars are better than the old stars, you must be unlearned, or a fanboy. GTFO here with this.

To be killed in mulletman threads?

If he wants... I don't care about them.

 

[olli]

He did it!

 

[PB12]

Congrats to OV. Look out Sakic and Iginla, your next!

 

[Varan]

he looked like he did not give a single f*** after he scored his 2nd

 

[delled]

Brett Hull must be rolling in his grave

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Easy work for Ovie against these chumps, congrats

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

Congrats Ovie! So the late great Joe Sakic is next. I heard his spirit always runs the Avalanche franchise.

 

[psycat]

Ovi > Bobby Hull. Ovi is the greatest goal scorer of any generation and one we clearly haven't appreciated enough in his career.

If you by that mean that he should be ranked quite a bit above Crosby all time I would say that I am inclined to agree. If that's not what you are saying I don't know what you are saying.

 

[M2Beezy]

Is that Ryan Miller in the Beige Van post?

No knock on the Great 8. But OP isn't putting any consideration into those WHA goals Bobby scored.
