People should enjoy every minute of watching OV play. We are literally witnessing likely the greatest goal scorer of all-time steadily climb up the goal scoring ladder. It will be tough to break Gretzky's record. If those 2 damn lockouts never happened you can likely add another 70-80 goals to the mix, which theoretically could have put him approaching 800 at age 34. Damn those lockouts so much.
And 34....damn. Time goes so fast. I remember his first season and just how electric he was when he entered the league, and how elite of a peak he had a couple seasons later. So happy he was his cup.
While I think he for sure could have broken the record if those lockouts never happened, it will be tough to do it at this point. However at age 34 he's still proving the naysayers wrong every single season by winning the scoring title so if anyone can do it, it's him.
