...with 10 games left. How quickly does he reach 50? And how many by the time the fat lady sings?

Re: Ovechkin has 47 goals
7 more and he's 50th overall at 29 years old. 426 more to beat Gretzky for 1st all time, which doesn't seem likely but who knows. -
Re: Ovechkin has 47 goals
He'd have to score 50 every year for the next 8 years to come close.Originally posted by JoshComment

Re: Ovechkin has 47 goals
He's extremely likely going to hit 500 goals next season (31 goals away)..
I don't know if he'll break Gretzky's goal record, but he could finish second if he gets 802.
Goal scorers are usually on the decline by this point in their career (25-28 years old is their peak). He's shown no real signs of slowing down despite the low scoring ages of the NHL. I feel like he has 3 years of 50+ goals left in him, and then it'll be 30+. In four years that would put him at 650 goals, so he'd have to have five years of ~30 goals.Comment
