do you guys think covid can fuck ovechkins potential at reaching gretzkys record?
between shortened seasons due to lock outs last season cut short this season likely cut short who knows how long covids going to be here we may have next season cut short too

hes getting up there in age hes only got so many seasons left hes got the skill but is covid going to let him get the gp for it?
he did say he wanted to play in russia before he retired too so who knows how long he goes in the nhl if thats the case still


what do you guys think? does covid fuck over ovechkins chance at the record or does he still get it?

definite interference but i dont think he will stop until he gets it

Don't think he'll stop. He can now taste it. Legacy thing

He’ll get it, at the age of 45

He can still reach it as long as he's willing to play out his 5yr contract, I think the only chance that fucks him over is if he decides to retire early to spend more time with his kids.

Pretty insane his scoring output is highest ever in his career... imagine he never hit his prime and is starting now lmao. I think before this season started someone did the math and he needs 33 goals a season for the 5 yrs to break it.

watch him hit 100 goals next season to make up for all the lost time

hes only 36, and he really isnt slowing down hes got 2 less goals this year than all of last year and in 14 less games

i believe he is going to be playing well into his 40s


i think he beats it still, as long as he dosent have any major injury's

He can spend time with his kids and play in Russia after he breaks the record.

He's too close now, he's not stopping.

it all depends on how bad he wants to break it and how long we will want to play

I can see him easily putting up 20 goals in a season at 40+ years old. Fuck he's gliding/standing still half the time in the O-zone, slap him on the powerplay and he'll get there

It's gonna happen, just might take 6 years and him being on the pp towards the end though lolol
