Who is Alexander Ovechkin and what record did he break?
Center. Send in Wilson on the flank. Cross ice. Ovechkin fires. Score! The chasing days are done. Alex Ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer in the history of the NHL.
We have ourselves a new goalscoring king in the National Hockey League. Welcome to the Hockey Show. My name is Roy Bellamy. David Dwork is right there. In the shipping container is Rose and Ethan. Welcome back, Rosie. Full house. We got everybody back. It's a great thing.
Family's back together.
All right. So let's just start off by saying how great this guy is who just broke this record, right? Alexander Ovechkin. The great eight. Now, the guy right now has the body of David Wells. He's plump. Just straight up. I thought you were just going to say David.
David Wells making me smile, Roy. Thank you for pulling that out this morning. You're absolutely welcome.
The man did throw a no-hitter, hungover. Yeah, he did. I'm sure Overskin just broke the record of hungover. You never know.
Wait, so he took Ned's record? Yes.
David Wells threw a perfect game.
Yes, he took Ned's record.
Ned has fallen down, Rosie. I'm very sorry for your buddy.
Ned still has the most points, but he doesn't have the most goals.
By the way, Rosie, crazy stat. Ned Gretzky, if he never scored a goal, would still have the most points in NHL history.
What are Alexander Ovechkin's career achievements and stats?
Why?
Because of the assists.
Because of his assists. He has more assists than any other player has points.
Oh.
Yeah, Ned Gretzky was really good. David Wells threw a perfect game, by the way. Oh, yeah.
I said no hitter. We don't talk about baseball. We talk about hockey. 895 goals now for Alexander Ovechkin. You're the one that brought up David Wells. I brought it up. I didn't know you were going to continue with the point. You bring up David Wells. You know how the attention deficit thing works with the show, right? You bring up David Wells, we get excited. You send Rose and I on a tangent, we're gone. Gosh, I mean, look at pitches. I mean, in his 20-year career, he has an 82-game average of 49 goals per season. That's crazy. That's crazy. He has league records in power play goals for 325, game-winning goals of 136, shots on goal, 6,852. Seven million.
Yeah, seven million.
Seven million shots on goal. Calder Trophy winner, three-time Hart winner, three-time Ted Lindsey Award winner, That's MVP for the players there, voted by the players. Conn's my trophy winner when the Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018. He's led the league in goals nine times, led the league in points in 2008, and will be a first ballot Hall of Famer as soon as he hangs up his skates. He's scored 45 goals against the Florida Panthers in his career. He is better than Sidney Crosby.
I still remember back like, I guess when he was like a rookie, back when I was on the ice crew for the Panthers, and you have to get there super early, and he would come out into the ice with his yellow lace skates and his tinted visor and just pop, pop, pop, pop, puck in the boards. Nobody's out there. The arena's still dark.
Yeah, yeah.
And there's this young kid, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, just working his hands. It's crazy, man.
It's also crazy that the Panthers could have drafted him.
They did draft him. I think they drafted him four times.
They tried to.
They never actually did, but they tried to.
The NHL tried to draft him. Are you paying attention to the show, Rosie?
Yeah. So you have to be a certain age to qualify for the NHL draft, right? So the Panthers tried to claim leap years. Yes. Made Ovechkin older.
He was two days shy of the cutoff. So because of the leap years, they tried to claim that he was actually four days older than the cutoff. You know what?
