Ovechkin passes Selanne,Super Mario,Yzerman and Messier for career goals. 2 more for 700 goal club.

[Kap-the-Head]

Ovechkin IS getting older, and thus has to resort to less and less weapons in his arsenal. However, for the first 10 years he scored all kinds of goals, but it seems all that people remember is the PP slapshot.

Ovechkin passing Yzerman for career goals

How dare you! Just kidding congratulations keep it going

"Oh, and one more thing, if you ever do break Wayne Gretzky's all time record for the most goals in the League, after watching your Stanley Cup celebrations, I want to be invited to your party," Yzerman said

Good stuff from Yzerman here Yzerman salutes Ovechkin, says he'll join party if he passes Gretzky

Selänne and Yzerman doing the right thing ...not surprised Lemieux couldn't find it in him.

He has adjusted his game quite nicely. Power forwards usually decline earlier. He is playing smart.

Is Lemieux doing any interview at all nowadays or giving any sorts of comments ? Haven't seen him in awhile in Quebec's news.

 

[Sky04]

He'll be 7th all time by the end of this season and break into the top-5 next season, that's insane.... he's still got years left to go too.

I like how he quickly changed his game from power forward to a pure sniper years ago when his speed declined, shows a lot of self awareness lots of guys will keep trying to play like their old selves and just fail.

Exactly! He can still bring it physically, but he is doing it selectively.

One ahead of Messier now. It’s time to change the title name again.

 

[Zuluss]

Ovechkin ties, then passes Messier and moves into #8 in career goals - and into #1 in goals this season!

Messier did one as well. Classy thing by three of the four.

Mario knows Ovie is better.

Mario and class don’t go together.

Mario going to do a personal congrats to Ovi this weekend when he visits probably.

Sure he is.

I truly hope so.

He may even invite him to the basement.

He may even invite him to the basement.

I'm ashamed of myself that I get this reference.

Road Sens crowd chanting Ovi as the clock rolls down on a loss for their team. The man is transcendent.

I would hope so. That would be the classy thing to do.

Classy Sens fans. I like that their team is still playing hard and aren’t giving up on the season.

I hope they win the draft lottery and get LeFren.

Sens fans deserve many props.

So reporter interviews them and they answer. Who has attempted to interview Mario? The guy has not been interviewed for the longest time, he hasn't even attempted to defend himself against the Jagr allegations through Bourque. He never gives out a public statement for anything either

Maybe he is going all Sprucey Goosey?

When Mark "give me that number" Messier is making you look classless, there's something to chew on. Looking at you Mario!
