On 6 April 2004, Capital won the right to select Russian Fenome Alex Ovechakin with NHL draft lottery and first overall pick. Right after 21 years, Ovechin scored his 895th career goal – All with Washington – to break the NHL record of Wayne Greatzaki.

Ovechkin: 895 goals in 1,487 games
Gretzky: 894 goals in 1,487 games
watershed moment: Ocechin’s record-breaking goal came on power play, where 39 is Made a living For the last two decades. It also came against the islands, such as Greatzaki’s target in 1994 He took him to Gordi Howe.

Passing the torch: The game was stopped for a brief ceremony to honor the occasion. There was Greatzki on snow, who exchanged the neck and exchanged a handshake with the man he was around for the last week. Like Howe, Greatzaki set a record for 31 years. Should that pattern continue, OVI will crown the new goal-scoring king in 2056. Then you see!

Ovechkin: “What a day, huh, as I always said, it’s a team game. And without my boys, the whole organization, fans, trainers, coaches, I will never stand here,” The Great eight, “who does and had snow to celebrate his goal. Immediately crowded by team colleagues“Felus, thank you very much. I love you very much.”

Agaless surprise: Gretzky’s record was considered unwavering for a long time – partly because no one thought that Ovechkin, or anyone, could score many goals that could be late in this career. But like Tom Brady, Labron James, Serena Williams and other contemporaries, which are late in their 30s (and early 40s), OVI re -defined whether it is possible.
Greatzaki scored 20.7 goals per season from the age of 32. Since Ovechin turned 32 years old, it is more than double the number (per season 42.1 goals), and is not slowing down. In fact, he is currently scoring a career-secretary 2.3 goal for 60 minutes per 60 minutes. At 39!
This is why the “GR8 Chase” made it so great: Ovechin has not washed his data on some veteran rosters; He is a valid superstar playing a major role for the best team of the Eastern Conference.
Consider this: This season is fourth in the 42 goal leagues of Ovechin, and three players in front of him (Lyon Drassital of Admonton, William Nilender of Toronto and Tage Thomason of Buffalo) were all nine years or less when he made his NHL debut.
How many goals can he score? “Is 1,000 a possibility?” Asked Michael Phelps. To which I say: maybe not, Michael Pheps. While the Akash seems to be a boundary for the Russian Round-scoring machine, OV has recently divided that the next season will be in the next season Possibly with a capAnd he has said that he wants to finish his career with his hometown Dynamo Moscow.
Worth a Watch: Ovechakin was Mike for your record-breaking moment … The announcement of the capitals for a long time, which Bennati called OV’s first career target, And his 895th,
