  • Ovechkin has 47 goals

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

    ** Nash & Stamkos are tied for 2nd with 39.

    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.

      He'd have to score 50 every year for the next 8 years to come close.

        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.

          Probably the biggest recent "what if", as in, what if Washington actually did something in the playoffs?

                Other than Ovie, only Stamkos (43) and Nash (42) had more than 40.
