if it's talking about goal scoring I think either is fine. I think might have been the one with Putin talk in it.

The Russian machine with two more tonight against Anaheim, up to 17 on the season.

Crazy that from the 30s till present he has 439 goals. That alone would but him around 75th all time. He is about to lap Kopitar and Marchand.

[Steve's Stick]

Does he get to 1,000?

Never thought that could be possible for a player.

If he keeps this gpg for this season, he'll need about 70.

He could also pass the WHA+NHL Gordie Howe total (975).

He would have easily gotten to 1000 if not for lockouts and COVID I think.

He likely missed a full season in 04-05...probably 30 goals there.

Missed 34 games in 12-13: so another 15 goals there.

Probably another 30 games or so between the two Covid seasons, so another 15 goals there.

He'd probably be around 975 right now if not for all that missed time too.

And if you're going to count WHA for Gordie then KHL should probably count for Ovechkin.

So he's actually going to pass Gordie Howe this season for most professional goals scored - because he's at 969 right now if you include his KHL and NHL totals.

Although Jagr probably joins that equation too then maybe.

I hope he makes it to 1000.

Dont just break the record...kick its ass!!
