There are a couple pretty cool milestone comparisons today.

Gretzky 894 goals, 1487 games
Ovechkin 894 goals, 1486 games

Only one game difference!

Babe Ruth’s first 1000 games as Yankee, he had 321 home runs. Judge just matched that this afternoon.

No. But he is now arguably the best goal scorer. Absolutely crazy he tied the Wayne in one less game played. That was thought of as an “unbreakable” record not too long ago. Averaging 0.6 goals per game over a 20 year career is remarkable.

Who is the GOAT of hockey?
 
He's Russian so he was used to being #2.

I don't know enough hockey to make that claim. I think he's an elite scorer but for other centers, I think he's where he should be for assists. Seems average there.

He's a better hitter than Gretzky.
 
Amazing moment today. Really fun to watch. Crowd was awesome. Every speech was awesome. Every reaction was awesome. The call on the game was awesome. Really cool moment in history.
 
I am so pissed. Have four tix for Thursday. Witaf were they doing playing him on the road. Stubhub nosebleeds went from 1000 to 100 in a matter of moments sell Mortimer sell!!!

Btw Gretzky is the goat. If he had scored zero goals in his career he would still be like 800 points ahead of anyone from his assists alone. Unbelievable really.

Crazy. What did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking?

I agree. I think Sid is a better player as well

70. In January. I spent several days looking at gpg rates, schedules, etc. the math held shockingly true. I sorta counted on them sitting him today. That was my risk hedge.

Just hard to compare Sid and ovi, given their different roles. Sid has the best backhand I’ve ever seen.

I don't think they would or should have sat him. Gotta stay on the same routine. Unless they were going to sit him for the playoffs which would never happen considering. I thought the fans in NY were awesome in the moment today. It sounded like they won the cup right after he scored.

As much as I disliked the penguins, Sid has always been really fun to watch.

At the end of the day I get it. They could have clinched conference today. And that’s before the nhl marketing gets involved. (Which I’m sure it did given that no one even asked the question the last few days). But…seemed like you give him one more chance to do it at home.

Sid is great, idles fans were great. If there were a silver lining to the day, it was that aardvark jr (who was there Friday night) drove an hour over the mountain and showed up at my house unannounced…so he could watch the game with me just in case. Brought a tear to my eye actually. Real Father son hockey stuff.

My cousin is in an elite group of 182 goalies Ovechkin had scored on. He gave up the Hot Stick celebration goal so it's even more infamous.
 
Crazy think is Gretzky has 1,200 more assists then Ovechkin.

Gretzky’s greatness is unworldly.
