Ovechkin Top 5 Goal Scorer all time?

[Scott R Lucidi 675]

Ovi having a great start.  The Capitals have some good team mojo right now.  Ovie has 5 Goals, 5 Assists and +5 thru 9 games.  Don't think he's going to be able to pick up those stats every 9 games, but I don't see him scoring less than 35 goals this year.  35 goal season would put him at 888 for his career.  That means, he would break Gretzky's record in the 2025-26 season and finish at about 925 goals through age 40.  I don't see this guy retiring after that, though.  I actually think the odds of him playing til he's 50 are better than the odds of him retiring.  This is a different breed of human.  6'3", 240 lbs.  He's an absolute BEAST.

85% of LGW voted he wouldn't make #1 or #2. He's been #2 since the 22-23 season. 

94% of LGW voted he wouldn't make #1. He only has 36 goals to go with another year on his contract after this one.

Best thing we ever did was bully the Canadians off this board. Witness the GOAT ya Gretzky fondlers.

He would have already broken the record had there been stoppages in league play and shortened seasons.

And there it is. Best of all time. In the exact same number of games. 1 goal more.
