Congrats Ovie!

20th player in NHL history to score 600 goals - I would ague the best goal scorer in the last 30 years.

I was just going to start a thread, was surprised that there was not one for achieving such a remarkable accomplishment!

Great career for Ovie and i'm sure there are plenty more goals to come.

I would say Brett Hull, but that's a bias opinion.

They are 1-2 for sure, but Ovie has averaged more goals per game on average. Hull finished with 741 goals in 1269 games and Ovechkin has 600 in 990 games - figure if healthy, Alex plays 5 more years averaging 35, that will have him pass the Golden Brett. Again, if healthy, which is a big if, because he has wear and tear from actually hitting people in his career, he has a shot at 800.

Ovie has already played the same amount of years as Hull already. Crazy.

You need to check that again - this is Ovie's 13th year and Hull played 20 years - not even close

Bad math lol.

Super entertaining game last night. Laine with the equalizer made it even better. Great way to win it in OT.

I’d agree with Hull.

I'm a big Ovie fan, but just don't see how he will be able to do it. I think he might pass Hull, but that is about it. He has played far too physical of a game throughout his career and that will catch up to him a couple of years in my opinion.

k13 · 03-14-2018, 09:45 AM

If not for the lockouts he would do it but now it will be really tough.

Still amazing in this Era.

600-700 now probably impresses me more than 800+ than Gretzky scored and I'm a HUGE Gretzky fan...

I've watched my fair share of Gretzky film and there's a lot of times I just scratch my head at how bad the defense was, the goalies were and how small their pads were...

I know everything gets better by generation, but the style of play just doesn't allow for huge goal amounts anymore, so that many goals is just impressive.

I was just thinking the exact same thing this past weekend. Watched a couple of his goal videos and it looks like there’s a 12yr old in net for quite a few of them. The 80’s looked more like pond hockey than anything.
