Agreed. I was hoping the Red Wings could swing for Pasta!Bruins did exactly what I wanted them to do and load up on draft picks. There were no quick fixes for this team and its going to be a long rebuild process.
How are the Islanders doing this year?? I haven't been really following much

The third period of the bruins panthers game was awesome. The bruins finally got a match lit under their ass.

I never thought it would happen either. Congrats to Alex--a grizzled veteran. Now he just needs 1200 more assists to catch Gretzky.If you told me 10 years ago the all time goals record would be broken I would have said you’re nuts but he did it.

1200 more assists to catch Gretzky.
Gretzky had 5088 shots on goal over the course of his career. Ovechkin currently has 6852.good lord.
dont follow hockey all that closely but seemed like nobody would score that many goals again.
it would be interesting to see changes in overall like league shots on goal during his career vs Gretzky. Thats what has NBA all out of whack - speed of play, number of 3pnt shots per game etc. have tilted a ton of records.
The difference in assists is mind-blowing though. In my opinion part of it is that Gretzky had better players around him than Ovechkin ever did. Also, Wayne had some bad ass mofos protecting him and allowing him more freedom on the ice. NHL was rougher and dirtier in the 80s/90s than it is now.Also an amazing stat is he broke the record in the exact number of games played as Gretzky. Both 1487 games played.
Gretzky still holds the record for total goals scored, regular season +playoffs, 1016 to Ovechkin's 964. That would probably mean Ovi play 2 more season if he's to break that.
