26 goals so far.
WTF.
Only thing that stops him from beating Gretzky at this point is World War III.

Hey man, there's a separate thread for politics. Just kidding, good luck to guy, he is good at goal scoring.

I think he’s re reincarnation of Casey the pitcher from the Twilight Zone, pre-operation.

It's unfortunate that he has been a huge Putin supporter and has never denounced the war in Ukraine. He has kept his picture with Putin as his profile picture on Instagram. I'm very much torn on him. In any other industry he would have been already canceled.

Iraq.
Afghanistan.
Libya.
Yugoslavia.
Vietnam.
Korea.

At least Russia invades former territories. We go half way around the world to do it.

Even if he doesn't catch Gretzky, hard to argue he's not the best goal scorer of all time.

It's a shame injuries shortened Bossy's career.

I also think about where Ovechkin would be at now, if he didn't lose essentially 2 seasons worth of games in his prime from the 2 lockouts and the covid year.

My initial reaction was to argue and say Bossy. But Bossy did it against midget goalies trying to kick save their way to the cup.
A guy like Bossy would be lucky to score 25 goals playing that style today.

Honestly, I wonder if Brett Hull has a better claim to the title than Bossy.
