He’s gonna pass Gretzky this season
As someone was in the building, it looked like more ketchup than mustard
Now that’s a class act right there. He didn’t break the unwritten rule and wind up let go a slap shot into the empty net and have a huge over the top celebration after the outcome of the game had already been decided. Take note, that’s how a respectable empty net goal is scored.
I was there, and the Caps fans there were chanting, "we want Ovi" so he can score another goal to get closer to beat Gretzky's record.
He will inaugurate the 900 club this season.
They’d push him in a wheelchair towards an empty net and still act like it’s legit. Pathetic
Great to see it, but Thompson was the star of this game.
Go Ovechkin!
Gretzky is still better because he did it with a flat stick, and ovi did it with better stick
Wow
He pretty much needs one every other game
Why did the predators pull the goalie when it was 3-1
let gretzky keep his record
He sucks all he does is score empty net goals. Lazy and useless and does not deserve the record
HE SCORES
Alex Ovechkin is my favourite player and he is best
