I don't even know if I've ever seen a picture of a hockey player holding a cat.

Only half as long as he does when it’s really, really hot out.

Is he an 'Eggshell White' kind of guy or a 'Cream White' kind of guy?

Ovechkin looks like such a movie villain. He should be holding a cat.

Just to make it fair to Gretzky the rest of the way Ovechkin should have to wear an eye-patch when he's playing.

Darian Hatcher of all people had one in the Stars “Pet Calendar”. But it only had 1 eye, so it was tough (for a cat).

I looked for it, but only found Klingberg cuddling his cat (2 eyes).

85 goals to go. barring an injury you have to believe it is possible.

Barring an injury, it look pretty inevitable. Should get 20 or so more this year. That leaves 30-35 average over the next 2 years. Even with a massive fall off in production, that looks pretty attainable.

The Washington coaching staff also seems to be on board with just letting him fire off one-timers.

Yep. Looks poised to get another 20 this season, cutting the magic number to 65.


65 goals is not insignificant, but if anyone can do it at 38+ it's Ovi. Heck, he might just score all 65 in one season to get it done an over with, just like he did with 800, 801 and 802.

I was going to say his defensive game isn't what it used to be, but I guess when you're the greatest goal scorer of all time, you should play to your strengths.
