Congratulations ovi well done ! Best goal scorer ever !

Ovechkin getting the all-time leader in something every other month it feels like
A Gretzky record was broken…. Pretty nuts
Что-то у меня от Вашингтона голова закружилась Какие молодцы овечкин забил два …. даже если бы проиграли два гола Сашки важнее
Back in the 80's there was an average of almost 8 players per season who scored 50 or more goals. In the modern NHL era after the 2004/2005 lockout, that same average has fallen to an average of just 2 players per season. No other player in the modern NHL era has even come remotely close to Ovechkin when it comes to goal total. Even Wayne Gretzky 'The Great One' himself clearly admitted in a 2019 interview: "I played in the right era, it's harder to score now than it was when I played."
The statistical average number of goals scored per game per team in the 14 NHL seasons between 1979 to 1993 when Gretzky played his first 14 seasons was 3.74 goals. The statistical average number of goals scored per game per team in the 14 NHL seasons between 2005 to 2019 when Ovechkin played in his first 14 seasons was 2.84 goals. That's a 32% difference which means that it is statistically 32% more difficult to score goals in the modern era compared to back in the 80's and early 90's.
When people only look at a 1:1 goal comparison between Gretzky's total goals and Ovechkin's total goals, its like comparing a sprinter who is running on flat level surface to that of a sprinter running uphill on an incline. Ovechkin's modern era goal total needs to be calibrated by a factor of 32% in order to properly compare to Gretzky's goal total: 791 goals x 1.32 = 1044 goals > Gretzky's 894 goals. And that's even before adding in the 50+ goals Ovechkin would have certainly scored in the 2004/2005 lockout season, not to mention the 2 recent shortened seasons due to the pandemic.
It really puts into perspective what Ovechkin has achieved in the modern NHL era while even having played one less season than Gretzky, and Ovechkin still has 5 or 6 seasons left to play still. It's like catching up to the fastest sprinter in history after having a late start, while running against an incline, and then passing that fastest sprinter while there is still a quarter length of track remaining.
Just look at the difference between goalies from the 80's and goalies in the modern NHL era. Look at the difference in their size of pads, height, reach, flexibility, technique, and skill. Most goalies from the 80's played worse than today's amateur beer league goalies. During Gretzky's first 14 seasons, the average NHL goalie save % was 0.879 and the average GAA was 3.65, which is unheard of among today's modern era NHL goalies, except maybe in the minors. Also, no players bothered to block shots back in the 80's, imagine how many more goals Ovechkin would have if players today played 80's style defense and did not bother to block shots.
Gretzky also played on a decade-long dynasty team in an era that had no salary cap. The 80's Oilers Dynasty fab 5 would have never been allowed to exist on the same team after the salary cap was put in place starting in 2005 during Ovechkin's first season. Ovechkin played every single season under a limiting cap which made the league way more competitive and evenly distributed, Gretzky never did, not even a single season.
Also, Gretzky had the luxury of having his two on-ice bodyguard thugs (Semenko and McSorley) with him all throughout the 80s and the first half of the 90s. Semenko and McSorley constantly intimidated other players and made sure nobody touched Gretzky whenever he had the puck which allowed Gretzky to make all those plays and rack up all those points. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Gretzky was the NHL's official Golden Boy and nobody was allowed to lay a hand on him.
Yea…the other Connor might help…don't try 2 hard now.
Овечкин СУПЕР👍😀❤️💯
Глупость тренера не выпустить Овечкина в конце игры с пустыми воротами. Идиот.
Good for OV, less so for the home team though. Canucks continue to their inept ways at Rogers. And as always for Canucks fans, it's not the despair, it's the hope.
