LOL @ Alexander Ovenchicken.

You have to expect a drop-off around 36-37.

 

but if he puts up 45-50 from till then, he's in solid shape. he's in great shape, so maybe he keeps pace at 40 ?

 

HAHA Love his answer. That was great. Thanks Skinny for posting it.

 

Np

 

OV will be skipping all-star weekend.

 

i saw he's getting suspended for doing so via 1 game.

 

Is that with Putin? He loves him.

 

Let's do some breakdowns here,

OV born Sept/85 is 34 years old, in 49 games this season he has 34 goals.

Projected total for this season would be 54 goals.

Going into next season he would need 182 goals to catch Gretzky, he will be 35.

If he plays another 5 seasons, he needs to average 36 goals a season

If he plays another 7 seasons, he would need to average 26 goals per season.

A major injury and all bets are off, he's able to keep himself in game shape until 41, at least 39 for sure.

 

Here's my projections.

Age

35 / 50 goals
36 / 47 goals
37 / 38 goals
38/ 31 goals
39 / 26 goals

These 5 seasons would break Gretzkys record at 39 years old.

 

#693, bye bye, Stevie Y.

 

Hatrick, you can't make this shit up, russian bot.

#40

 

He has #698 total now, his next target is #708, Mike Gartner. Yeah, he had a gazillion 30 and 40+ goal seasons.

 

Natural hatrick in less than 5 minutes

 

The Ovenchicken still stuck on 698, the other night he had 8 shots go through afrer 17 shot attempts.
This would mean many were blocked or shot wide. Last night he had 4 shots.

 

Say what you want about the Ovenchicken (I personally don't like his politics). Scoring over 40 goals while registering over 200 hits in a season is unheard of today.

The Ovenchicken tries for #700 this afternoon vs the Devils.

 

700!!!!!
