Had a hat trick tonight for goal 800 to move 1 behind Gordie Howe for 2nd on the goals scored list. 94 more to Gretzky. Go Caps!!!

He will likely hang on to break the record, sad to say. He has taken 1100 more shots than 99 and his shooting % is 12.9 compared to 99's ridiculous 17.6.

While I’ve followed hockey from afar, has he always been this type of character or has it only been in recent years?

This is obviously a very respectable record. I give huge props to Ovechkin for getting there.

Go look at Wayne‘s points record (and assists, for that matter.) Will never be touched.

I'm a Capitals fan but you would have to be a mad man to make the claim that Ovechkin is better than Gretzky. I think Barry Sanders was a better running back than Emmitt Smith but Smith is the one with the record.

99 took 1800 less shots than Ovechkin. 99 with a higher shooting %.....17.6 to 13.1.
