Insane that we’ve started counting down, it’s no longer if, it’s when and how many will he add
I used to be torn, but now I hope that Ovi gets the record.
Nope. Dont want to see it.
I’m an Oilers fan and I’ve been arguing with anyone who disagreed that this was inevitable for the last 5 years. Barring injury it’s a guarantee now, he wants it and will/can play until he gets it. Although that’s possibly next year, two maximum.
I am absolutely stoked to watch that game. Being witness to one of the greatest achievements in hockey history is one of the best joys of being a fan.
Boooo
is everyone forgetting he had 9 goals through half this year? next season he’s another year older (nearly oldest in the league) and could very well have that big drop off again but worse
it’s next year or bust imo (get 20< goals = record, get 15> goals records a question mark)
I said get to 850 on the season and I was satisfied
855 seems doable now. Would love that.
I’m hyped for him, but am I the only one sick of seeing 3+ clips posted every time he scores now?
Pretty inevitable when you rarely pass the puck.
Hot take, I don’t think he gets there.
Russian asshole who supports killing innocent Ukrainians.
A little bit of vomit rose up to my mouth.
I hope he does it
Tie Gretzky in goals, that is, no points. Even if Gretzky had not scored any goals in his career he would still have more total points than anyone for a long time to go. It’s a team game.
I’m still confused by his first goal. I could have sworn that it was McMichael’s live.
Wayne didn’t do roids. Go back to Russia.
Putin will be proud.
He WILL get the record. If not during this contract, there will be 1-year contracts until he does.
Aint gonna happen
Doesn’t count, its against the jets
Nice to see some goal scorers goals. Getting veeeeeery close.
Wow, the comments in here are hot hot hot.
Wait last time I checked it was 50? Ovi saw the first half of the season and just said “I can do better than that”
Gretzky played for 21 years. Obvi is almost at 25.
Let’s keep that in mind.
(puts on tin foil hat) Man he *really* didn’t want to play in the All Star game.
Send that commie back to Russia..!!
Crazy
The first half of the year I think he was laboring and out if shape. The second half of the year has been so impressive based on the fact that he is playing with crap centres and still scoring.
Remember previously he had either Backstrom and Kuzy to feed him. Now he has Strome, McMichael and Lapierre. …
If he beats the record I hope he goes into the 900s. And hey, play 4 more years after getting 25 goals per year so he can reach the 1000 goal mark

Putin can’t wait
Like 1500 points too right?
It’s awesome how everyone in this sub decided in the last six months or so that “politics doesn’t belong in sports” and this shitty thing is good and exciting.
Never happen. 😂😂
He scored again so it’s 45
So many sour ovi fans down voting anyone who mentions Putin
Ov is now a one dementional player and has been for years. Very boring and has no suprises for anyone Shoot shoot shoot. No one in hockey has been more selfish than ov. It’s all about him. No matter how it plays out, He will NEVER be the greatest
Jets out in the first round book it
New to hockey. What’s the record?
I bet he would already have been there if it wasn’t for the years shorted by strikes and COVID.
