Alex Ovechkin n'est rien de moins qu'une machine de guerre, voire le Robocop de la Ligue nationale de hockey. Malgré ses 37 ans, le Tsar préconise toujours ...

[December 14, 2022] Leonsis s’est engagé à offrir une équipe de qualité et à ne pas reconstruire jusqu’au moment où le record de Gretzky sera jeté aux oubliettes. Ovi est en route pour fracasser le record au niveau des buts dans l’histoire de la LNH. Pour sa part, Ovechkin a enfilé l’aiguille à 797 reprises depuis l’amorce de sa carrière en 2005-06. Ça, c’est digne d’un joueur unique qui est en train de marquer au fer chaud l’imaginaire des partisans de hockey. Malgré ses 37 ans, le Tsar préconise toujours un jeu physique, lui qui affiche 84 mises en échec au compteur cette année, bon pour le 16e rang du circuit.

Ovechkin est devenu mardi le troisième joueur de l'histoire de la LNH à marquer 800 buts, après Gretzky et Howe.

Il s'agit du 29e triplé de la carrière du « Great 8 », qui vient au premier rang de l'histoire à ce chapitre. C'est ce genre de souvenirs qu'on veut », a raconté Kuznetsov, qui s'est joint aux Caps il y a près d'une décennie. Ce genre de moment, ça ne s'achète pas. Je suis vraiment fier que ce soit arrivé et que ce soit passé. « C'est immense... Le capitaine de Washington a complété le jeu d'Evgeny Kuznetsov et Anthony Mantha pour déjouer Petr Mrazek une troisième fois dans le match, à 6:34 de la troisième période.

Ovechkin a atteint cette barre symbolique des 800 buts le soir de son 1 305e match de NHL, alors que Gretzky l'avait fait après 1116, le 20 mars 1994. Auteur d'un triplé (1re, 9e, 47e), le Russe est devenu le troisième joueur de l'histoire à atteindre la barre des 800 buts inscrits en NHL. Il est désormais troisième dans ce classement, derrière deux autres légendes, les Canadiens Gordie Howe, décédé en 2016 (801 buts), et Wayne Gretzky (61 ans, retraité depuis 1999, 892 buts).

De son côté, il a promis de rester en forme tout le temps et de ne pas être obsédé par le record, mais plutôt de mettre des efforts pour gagner une autre coupe Stanley.» Le multimillionnaire a révélé que cet aspect avait été évoqué dans les dernières négociations de contrat d’Ovechkin. «Je suis sûr qu’il y aura un afflux de jeunes joueurs, mais nous n’allons pas reconstruire l’équipe, a dit Leonsis.

“Until then, I think he's on the hunt, and that's what we love about him." Goaded into making a speech, Ovechkin said [it was special](https://twitter.com/Capitals/status/1602901355445686273?s=20&t=0BpLKhnP1F1JsWZb8hFwjg) to accomplish the feat with the team. “It was awesome,” Washington coach Peter Laviolette said. “Even in the warmup, I was feeling that energy right away,” he said.

Le joueur-vedette des Capitals est désormais un membre du club des marqueurs de 800 buts en carrière dans la LNH.

S’il garde son rythme de 0,60 but par match, il dépassera la «Merveille» (894 buts) au sommet à l’intérieur de ses 158 prochaines rencontres. La preuve, c’est qu’il fut le plus rapide à passer de 700 à 800 buts, ayant besoin de 162 rencontres. Le service des statistiques de la LNH a également permis d’en apprendre plus sur d’autres facettes de l’œuvre accomplie par le hockeyeur. Sans surprise, le coéquipier ayant contribué le plus régulièrement à ses buts est Nicklas Backstrom, qui a inscrit 278 mentions d’aide sur des réalisations d’Ovechkin. À égalité en cinquième place du classement des 165 gardiens trompés par le patineur, Ryan Miller et Cam Ward peuvent évoquer les 19 buts qu’ils ont offerts à «Ovi». Il a du même coup disputé son 29e match d’au moins trois buts et il compte 71 duels de deux réussites ou plus.

Brian Willsie was a veteran charged with teaching Ovechkin the ways of the NHL. Now, he watches his former roommate with awe.

“He didn’t want to let his group down, and I think we all have that in us, but to watch him do that the first year and every year is something that I took from him. Willsie was there for the Russian’s first goal and knew from the start there was “something special” about the Capitals’ No. … He was just willing to do anything to be a part of the group.” From the start, Ovechkin had infectious energy, and he let his personality shine. Ovechkin looks back at his rookie year with fondness, not only because it was his first shot in the NHL but also because of the players who welcomed him with open arms. “He is not a little kid anymore,” Willsie said with a laugh. “I thought that was so cool,” Halpern said. In the celebration that ensued, Ovechkin started to yell in the pile on the ice. “He has such a commitment and enthusiasm about him,” Willsie said. “He was always bigger than me, but now he is the man with a family, and he has got a lot of distractions. When Willsie looks at Ovechkin now, he still sees the excitement, passion and love for the game. He is two goals shy of passing Gordie Howe (801) for second on the NHL’s all-time list and 95 goals from breaking Gretzky’s record.

On Tuesday night Alex Ovechkin became the third player in NHL history to score 800 goals. Ovechkin scored a hat trick against the Chicago Blackhawks, ...

* Goal No. Ovechkin had tied Howe two days earlier with goal No. 13, 2022, Ovechkin opened the scoring just 24 seconds into the game, added a second first-period marker and completed the hat trick on Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek to join Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe as the third player in NHL history to reach the 800-goal milestone. The only player to reach the 700-goal mark at a younger age or in fewer games than Ovechkin (age 34, 1,144 GP) was all-time goals leader Wayne Gretzky (age 29, 886 GP). The fourth-fastest in NHL history to reach the 600-goal milestone, Ovechkin ended the season with four goals in his final three games to claim the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy with 49 goals. 10, 2016, playing in front of family and Capitals faithful at Verizon Center, Ovechkin became the fifth-fastest in NHL history to reach the 500-goal mark (801 GP) with his first of two tallies against Ottawa’s Andrew Hammond. At the time, he was one of three active players who held their franchise’s goals record – New Jersey’s Patrik Elias and San Jose’s Patrick Marleau were the others. At the time, it was the 15th goal streak of four or more games in Ovechkin’s career – a number that has since increased to 28 and has been achieved by only two others in League history: Mario Lemieux (34x) and Wayne Gretzky (30x). 5, 2009, Ovechkin netted his League-leading 37th goal of 2008-09 and 200th of his NHL career when he beat Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick in their first-ever meeting. 12, 2007, Ovechkin scored his 100th NHL goal (167 GP) to become the 10th player in the League’s expansion era (since 1967-68) to reach the milestone in fewer than 170 career games. He added his second tally just 4:30 later to become the first player in Capitals history to score multiple times in his League debut. Ovechkin scored a hat trick against the Chicago Blackhawks, spurring a standing ovation from the United Center crowd.

Ovechkin's 3 goals in Tuesday's game makes him the third National Hockey League player ever to reach 800.

Ovechkin has been one of the NHL’s most powerful scorers practically since he got two goals in his debut with Washington on October 5, 2005. When it was over, Ovechkin jumped onto the ice one last time to salute the cheering fans. The 37-year-old winger then completed his 29th career hat trick when he knocked Anthony Mantha’s pass over a sprawled Mrazek in the third.

La question n'est pas de savoir si ou quand Alex Ovechkin deviendra le plus grand marqueur de l'histoire de la Ligue nationale de hockey.

Trois ans plus tard, il a repris sa carrière dans la LNH avec les Flyers de Philadelphie. Jagr avait 36 ans quand il a quitté la LNH en 2008 pour aller jouer à Omsk, dans la KHL. Jagr suivait difficilement le flot du jeu de la LNH à ses dernières saisons. S’il n’est que l’ombre du grand joueur qu’il a été dans la LNH, il demeure une figure populaire dans son pays. En ce sens, il est une émule de Gordie Howe, qu’il doublera bientôt au deuxième rang des francs-tireurs de la LNH. Il a connu quatre saisons de 96 points ou plus dans l’AMH, dont deux de 100 points. Il avait expliqué sa décision en disant que le mode de vie trépidant de la LNH lui pesait et qu’il était temps pour lui de passer à autre chose. Au contraire, c’est lui qui dicte la loi sur la glace. en version réelle. Ce n’est pas faux, mais c’était l’époque de Slap Shot ! Deux saisons auxquelles s’ajoutent deux autres campagnes tronquées par la COVID-19.

For everybody to be a part of that inside of that room and to have that be about him for a second for what he's accomplished is pretty special. Ovechkin paused to gather his thoughts and contain his emotions before saying: "How I always say, without you guys, obviously, I would never reach those kind of numbers. The fans watch me and the fans want to see that historical moments." Howe scored 786 goals in 25 seasons with the Red Wings (1946-71) and 15 goals in one season with the Whalers (1979-80). "Obviously, the first couple goals was good bounces, and the third one, [Mantha] gave me a nice pass and I just have to put it in. Gretzky scored his 800th goal in his 1,116th game, beating Arturs Irbe at 6:16 of the first period of the Los Angeles Kings' 6-6 tie with the San Jose Sharks at San Jose Arena on March 20, 1994. Kuznetsov got the puck back to Mantha to the right of the net, and Mantha quickly passed through the crease to Ovechkin for a shot into an open net. Howe scored his 800th goal in his 1,748th NHL game, beating Mike Liut at 1:27 of the third period of the Hartford Whalers' 3-0 win against the St. The puck was on my curve, so I knew I just have to put it up and it's in." "For some reason, I feel like sometimes when he gets the goals around the net he is always by himself and nobody cover him," Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov said. "I kind of could've shot but I saw someone coming backdoor with a right-handed stick, and you don't assume it's Ovi, just because we're not playing together," Mantha said. "It's a huge number," Ovechkin said.

Alex Ovechkin becoming just the third NHL player with 800 goals has put him on the verge taking his next big step in hockey history.

It’s a little different in that Gretzky idolized Howe before Ovechkin was born, but Mark was struck by something the superstar Russian winger said during a joint interview. I think they know where the puck’s going to go. “As long as he has passion and he’s out there battling, competing, he’s going to score his share of goals. “Dad earned his stripes back in the ’50s and ’60s primarily, but his name I think still looms large in hockey.” Hockey” is the only player between Ovechkin and [Wayne Gretzky’s](https://globalnews.ca/tag/wayne-gretzky) record of 894 that long seemed unapproachable. “Alex, he goes, ‘Well, yeah, his name is ‘Mr. Ovechkin also scored 55 goals in the Russian Superleague/Kontinental Hockey League. I think they know where to be. At his pace this season, he would surpass 50 goals and put him 60 or so away from the record. [Gordie Howe](https://globalnews.ca/tag/gordie-howe) for second on the career list. “It’s a big number. 99,”’ Howe recalled Wednesday, referring to Gretzky’s longtime sweater number.

Alex Ovechkin est devenu le troisième joueur de l'histoire de la LNH à atteindre le plateau des 800 buts, mardi soir, dans une victoire de 7-3 des Capitals ...

J'ai trouvé que nous nous sommes battus pour revenir dans le match, mais c'est Ovechkin, a observé l'entraîneur-chef des Blackhawks, Luke Richardson. Ovechkin n'est qu'à un seul but d'égaler Gordie Howe pour le deuxième total dans la LNH. En attendant, je pense qu'il est à la chasse, et c'est ce que nous aimons de lui.

"THE GR8 CHASE" trademark is a triple entendre, alluding to Alex Ovechkin's nickname ("The Great Eight"), Wayne Gretzky's nickname ("The Great One") and the ...

Ovechkin's family was heavily involved in the creation of the logo, as well as the trademark name. Next up on the goals list is Gordie Howe with 801 and then Gretzky with 894, a record that has stood for 23 years. "THE GR8 CHASE" is a triple entendre, alluding to Ovechkin's nickname ("The Great Eight"), Gretzky's nickname ("The Great One") and Ovechkin's chase of history.

When Wayne Gretzky hit the 800-goal mark, in his 15th National Hockey League season 28 years ago, he had basically lapped the entire hockey world with his…

When Gartner came to the NHL, he used to study Bossy. “You look at Ovie, and he’s still getting his shots, he’s still scoring goals, he’s not gathering numbers the way some players do. “You look at a lot of older players and near the end of their careers, they’re slowing down, the numbers drop, they’re accumulating numbers but not big ones,” said Gartner. The 200-point seasons. The big numbers. And doing it through two decades in which it was challenging to score. Gretzky, the ultimate playmaker, scored only 204 on the power play. It was Gretzky all by himself.” If that was close at all. When Gordie Howe retired for the first time after 25 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, he led all NHL goal- scorers, anyone who had ever played, with a total of 786. “That’s pretty a cool stat, don’t you think?” And no one else was even close.

Alex Ovechkin wasn't ready to start thinking about what comes next after becoming the third NHL player to score 800 goals, during the Washington Capitals' ...

After struggling to deal with a host of injuries, the Capitals (15-12-4) have rebounded for a five-game winning streak, their longest this season. Ovechkin appears in a hurry to race past Howe, who died in 2016 at the age of 88, and get on with chasing down Gretzky's record. Center Jonathan Toews and forward Patrick Kane were among the Blackhawks players to congratulate Ovechkin after the game. After that, it wasn't a question of if he would get his 800th on Thursday, but if he'd score 801 and 802 too, or save them for another day. With his next goal, Ovechkin will tie Gordie Howe for second on the NHL goals list with 801. The 37-year-old has scored what feels like countless milestone goals during his 18 NHL seasons, climbing steadily through the most-notable big numbers -- 500, 600, 700 and, now, 800 -- and past most of the biggest names to play the game.
