I would have never guessed that. I thought it was his wrist at first, then heard it might be a rib. Oilers really hurting with the injury bug.

Good on Torts for owning it, but God himself couldn't turn the Flyers squad around, they need talent and a better system to be competitive, as does Chicago and Buffalo, which I m sure the axe is going to be falling there soon too.

Crosby breaks Gretzky's record with 20th PPG season

QuoteSidney Crosby clinched a 20th season averaging at least a point per game on Thursday, passing Wayne Gretzky for the most in NHL history.

The 37-year-old leads the Penguins with 80 points (26 goals, 54 assists) in his 20th season. He was able to set the record on Thursday because he can play a maximum of 80 games after missing two with an upper-body injury on Feb. 7 and 8.

One of the best ever.

He's still so good.

Ovi gets his 890th in a losing cause

As if Ovechkin's just five goals away. What a phenomenal goal scorer.

DCM · April 04, 2025, 01:59:36 AM

Three to lead.

J5V · April 04, 2025, 05:15:56 AM

You could score 50 goals a season for 17 seasons and you'd still be more than 40 goals behind Ovie. What a goal scoring machine.

Jockitch · April 05, 2025, 03:32:10 PM

Got lucky in periodically watching the Caps and Hawks last night.
Got to see Ovi put 2 in and tie Gretz, who was in attendance

It really was an exciting occurrence

Great read on the Great 8.

Pigskin · April 05, 2025, 08:35:50 PM

It's a great accomplishment, but the Great One still has some records that no one will even touch.

OV. 894 G, 724 A, 1618 point.

WG99. 894 G, 1963 A, 2857 points.

Gretzky played in a different era and had a hecka of a team for most of his run/points. Ovi played on some poor Washington teams some years yet still produced. I thought Gretzky's goal record would never fall, but its about to be topped
