Starting tomorrow there's 7 games left in 2 weeks for him. They're already in the playoffs. They can play loose and he will get the record.

He’s a great scorer but still can’t touch Gretzky.

Gretzky has 1963 assists to go with all those goals. Ovechkin? Like 724.

Again, still a great player, but nowhere near the best one as an offensive threat.

What is really wild is that he is still in the top 15% for shots on goal, accuracy, and goals.

He is not limping to the record.

Gretzky is probably the GOAT but it's hard to compare eras.

The Great One played in 15 or the top 23 highest scoring seasons in NHL history. The highest for Ovechkin ranks 34th and goes down from there.

If you took away all of Gretzky’s goals he would still have the most points in NHL history.

Bobby Orr is in the conversation

Not that you know who that is.

Gretzky largely scored goals as an afterthought, and was much more of a playmaker. They're apples and hand grenades.

Ovechkin is a legend. Doesn't take anything from 99.

This is giving me McGwire/Sosa chasing Maris' record vibes.

Unreal sports moment and top 10 game in sports history all time if he breaks it with 3 goals in one game.

You think Orr is equal to WG 99?

Oh my...
