Alex Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky’s NHL goals record

Oof. Neither really, and that's coming from a Lakers fan. Lol

Eh, Gretzky at his peak probably falls into today's average speed for nhl players. Maybe slightly above. His IQ would still be there as would be his puck handling. Not really sure he'd be able to walk the blue line like he used to with the same effect but I'm sure he'd still be really good at it. Guy had patience on the blue line entry.

He was super elite in his era. But eras don't transfer. That said, I certainly don't think he gets rocked if for nothing more than you don't have to worry about that kind of shit these days.

I will say this though, Ovi, ruzzian populist not withstanding, would probably still excel in Gretzky's era because he is built and can lay hits and take some damage. He just probably ends up one of those guys who's smoking and drinking after practice.

At least we can stop hearing about it now

GG Oils. Weak win honestly. Would have been better with a playoff atmosphere but what can you do with injuries on both sides and the best forwards in the world not playing. Also doesn't help that matinee games are stupid.

Thanks for the safe place Canadian friends. Appreciate the Lemmy curating.

And for what it's worth, I for one would take CA becoming a Canadian province. Would definitely salute my maple syrup overlords.

Adda boy Lewis.

Oof. Don't know how I feel about Kuemps beating a JQ record.

Post season reffing is going to be horrid.

Weak as fuck. Should be 4v4

Fuuuuuck Boooooosh bombs give me anxiety

Weird 3rd period. Kings not looking like themselves. This is usually when they step up.
