Okay that’s what I figured. Do you by chance know the stat I’m referring to? Archived Message Posted by illini21 on April 6, 2025, 12:17:41, in reply to "Gretzky by a mile. " I can’t remember exactly what it was but I remember seeing it and thinking it was one of the craziest sports stats I’d ever seen. Previous Message Lemieux, Crosby, Orr are all ahead of Ovi. Arguments could be made for others too but Ovi is awesome nonetheless Previous Message I was always under the impression that Gretzky was far and away the goat. I remember there being some wild stat about how far ahead he was in total points over the 2nd on the list or something along those lines. Does this record put Ovechkin in the conversation or is still Gretzky by a mile? Previous Message Next three games: @Car vs BLACKHAWKS @NYI Can you guess which game they’re gonna try for him to break the record? Nosebleeds in the 400s are going for close to $200/ticket Message Thread: | This response ↓ Assist-phobic Alex Ovechkin 4 goals away from breaking Gretzky’s record - timmer April 1, 2025, 21:06:50 What a goal to break it. Ripped it top left.* - voiceofreason April 6, 2025, 13:40:38 He broke the record in the exact same number of games (1487), crazy.* - OB25 April 6, 2025, 13:05:13 I did not think this was possible. Ovi is great - CanHartlebHireSnider April 6, 2025, 12:52:25 Now that he’s got the record is he expected to hang it up after the season?* - illini21 April 6, 2025, 13:17:40 He has talked about at least finishing his contract through 25-26* - Potomac April 6, 2025, 13:48:55 He’s got 40+ goals. He can keep going. He’s still good* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 6, 2025, 13:21:31 As someone that doesn’t follow hockey help put this in perspective for me - illini21 April 6, 2025, 12:12:43 Ovechkin is a pure goal scorer, Gretzky still far and away the better player overall IMO - OB25 April 6, 2025, 12:16:26 Gretzky by a mile. - bjl63 April 6, 2025, 12:14:19 Two miles. Wayne has 350 more ASSISTS than Ovi has in total POINTS - timmer April 6, 2025, 12:22:00 Okay that’s what I figured. Do you by chance know the stat I’m referring to? - illini21 April 6, 2025, 12:17:41 Guessing it’s the one about where Gretzky would rank in points even if he never scored a goal. - OB25 April 6, 2025, 12:19:41 Ha yeah that’s wild* - illini21 April 6, 2025, 12:21:26 Gretzky has more assists than anyone else has points* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 6, 2025, 12:18:39 That’s it! Thanks* - illini21 April 6, 2025, 12:19:01 Ugh, I hate even more that he’s going to break it against my Isles.* - voiceofreason April 4, 2025, 21:39:40 I hate it even more that they are doing a split-screen - timmer April 6, 2025, 11:54:43 TNT isn’t showing the split screen. I think that’s just the TruTV alt cast* - illini21 April 6, 2025, 11:56:11 Aaah. That’s better* - timmer April 6, 2025, 11:56:54 it won't be an empty net goal, which reduces the probability for Sunday* - Potomac April 5, 2025, 7:17:20 Hey at least it’s a sport nobody cares about* - illini21 April 4, 2025, 23:12:31 Ovi with an early goal vs. Hawks tonight, 1 shy of tying. Hawks also a lot more fun to watch… - OB25 April 4, 2025, 19:32:42 And he tied it* - OB25 April 4, 2025, 20:16:30 19 goals in 26 games; not exactly staggering to the end* - Potomac April 4, 2025, 20:29:04 Pujolsian * - PapaDels April 5, 2025, 21:37:39 I was very anti Levshunov - CanHartlebHireSnider April 4, 2025, 19:34:06 All the prospect rankings have still rated Demidov higher so I still might have preferred that - OB25 April 4, 2025, 19:37:16 They've got a bunch of interesting blue-liners. Need some more goal scorers* - UofIL6 April 4, 2025, 19:35:55 Sorry…I’ve been distracted by the Blues pulling a 2019. Is Ovi doing something?* - Desert April 1, 2025, 21:50:58 I'm an Oilers fan, but fuck Gretzky. I can't wait to see Ovechkin break his record. - Kajagoogoo April 1, 2025, 21:49:22 isn't Ovi a Putin guy? - Sammich April 2, 2025, 8:55:40 I think Ovi is a Putin guy in the sense that he doesn't want his family members to die - JacobRDaugherty April 5, 2025, 3:24:09 Well, fuck! - Kajagoogoo April 2, 2025, 9:36:05 ^^^^Commie! Commie! Commie ^^^^ - timmer April 1, 2025, 21:55:27 Strong take. Why?* - Desert April 1, 2025, 21:51:28 Link inside my post. - Kajagoogoo April 1, 2025, 22:28:38 I was better off not knowing any of that. Dammit* - Desert April 2, 2025, 0:47:58 Lot of people are mad at Gretzky over his friendship with Trump* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 1, 2025, 22:16:36 I hate that he’s going to break this record.* - voiceofreason April 1, 2025, 21:33:31 I thought ‘The Greatest‘S’ records would never be broke* - TarheelIllini April 1, 2025, 21:09:42 A good amount of them never will be* - ilinni11 April 1, 2025, 22:14:55 Of course until your team really tries to set up the guy to score goals - timmer April 1, 2025, 21:17:36 but hey, favre let strahan sack him* - torinese April 1, 2025, 22:30:08   Searching
