Not a Caps fan, but 100% an Ovi fan !
If that the ceremony he get for passing the 2nd all time then imagine when he'll pass gretzky 😅. Insane player ovi, a goal scorer, a train with two legs! Everyone love you!
Congrats Ovi! Best goal scorer of all time!
Pens fan here man when him and sid retire its going to be a really sad day in hockey will never be the same for awhile without those 2 they just give it their all every single night for their teams and fans
Most 40 goal seasons:
Time after time he's proven that he is the greatest goal scorer in the world ! He deserves this ! He'll be remembered for ever and I am glad I was around to witness it ! I seen Howe ive seen Gretzky I'm WACHING OVIE ! He's not done yet !
Alex Ovechkin, amazing human being, on the ice and off the ice 👍👍!
Alex is a great representative for the NHL. All the best.
Incredible player...incredible accomplishment! Congratulations OVI!!!
When you compare the ease of goal scoring in Gretzky's era, OVI passed Wayne a long time ago.
Greatest goal scorer of all time!

Ovi is the greatest goal scorer in NHL history. This is the hill I'm willing to die on.
Congrats to Ovi, his family, and teammates. Washington proud! It's too bad that no modern-day player on the Leafs will achieve such an impressive milestone. However, as a team, they own an equally impressive milestone: It will soon be 56 years since last winning a Stanley Cup. The curse of Harold Ballard lives on. It will be a 4 game sweep for TB. Hey, 60 is a nice number. Same goes for 75. Go Loafs Go!
If Ovi maintains his current pace and, most importantly, is healthy, there is no reason to doubt that he will surpass Gretzky's achievement. It's amazing. At the age of 37, he continues to score more than 40 goals per season. He's a born sniper. His throws from the office have already become a legend...
I'm not a caps fan at all, but I'm really proud of Ovi for eclipsing Gordie, that's a really big achievement!
The Caps went all out. This was awesome. Mark Howe is awesome too. He's been at all the celebrations celebrating Ovi breaking his father's record. Class act
Our boy! ❤
As a Habs Fan, congrats AO!
Not a Caps fan whatsoever, But this is hopping up there as one of my favorite ceremonies I have EVER seen in the Hockey World! Huge Congrats to Ovi!!!
