I did not think this was possible. Ovi is great Archived Message Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider on April 6, 2025, 12:52:25, in reply to "Assist-phobic Alex Ovechkin 4 goals away from breaking Gretzky’s record" There was even a period 15 years ago I thought he was slowing down 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
