Greatest Goal Scorer of All Time

--- Quote from: zerofox on Saturday February 08, 2020, 04:28:19 PM Eastern ---Let's say he ends up with 715 goals by end of this season (which is 17 more goals in nearly 28 games remaining, a .60 goals/game average).
Next five seasons:
-50
-40
-35
-30
-25
That assumes some decline due to age and still puts him at 895.
To note, Selanne was scoring 40+ goals a season around age 35-36 or so. Closer to age 40 he was still at a 30+ goal a season pace (fell short at times due to injury). Ovechkin is a superior goal scorer to Selanne, so I think the numbers above are quite conservative. I think after 4 seasons if he hasn't beaten the record, he'll be dangerously close to it. Close enough to say "fuck it I put off retirement one more season just to get this record."

It can be done in 4, maybe 3, (at .6 GPG) but there will be a cost.
The Caps will need to be, and will be in full out STAT PAD mode for the next 3-4 years until this the record is broke.
Cups, series, or wins will be put aside for this record. . . and even I wouldn’t blame them for it this point.
Ovie breaking Gretzky’s record in three years is not unrealistic. Caps getting two or three Cups and Ovie breaking the record IS.

Ok.
This corona bullshit needs to eat a dick and die.
OV needs every extra game to hit 900+ goals

Do people here think Gretzky was the best?
