00:00start with Ovi because he's playing tonight

00:04and then he's playing a lot like Carver Hyde

00:08thinks it's at the horse track against the Islanders

00:12that he thinks that this record will be broken.

00:15So he thinks that basically tonight

00:18he's gonna have a couple goals in this game.

00:21Do you think he gets it done against the Islanders?

00:24When is that game, Sunday or Saturday?

00:27I think it's Sunday.

00:28He's never scored on Sorokin though.

00:30But here's the thing.

00:31When he was going for 800, he played in Chicago,

00:35needed a hat trick to get the 800 and he got it.

00:38So if you believe in what happened in the past,

00:40might happen tonight, you might wanna lay a little wood

00:43on him getting it tonight.

00:44But people think either Sorokin on Sunday

00:47or I think they play the Blue Jackets on Tuesday

00:51or next week.

00:51So I think a lot of people are thinking

00:53they have two games against the Blue Jackets

00:55but he's gonna break it, Scott.

00:56It's just a question of when before the season's over

00:58because they're gonna be looking for him.

01:00They've basically clinched the Metro Division

01:02so it's gonna be interesting to see

01:04when he does break the record.

01:06Yeah, like I'm looking for the game

01:09where he plays after, they play the Canes on Thursday

01:18and I'm just looking to see if he's got a game

01:20anywhere before that.

01:24I'm not seeing it.

01:26No, he doesn't, you're right.

01:27He's got Thursday.

01:29Yep, it's Thursday, Saturday and Sunday after Sunday.

01:34It's an afternoon game with the Islanders.

01:35So that's the next four games.

01:36Yep, you're right.

01:39So what, they play the Islanders twice?

01:42No, they play the Blue Jackets twice next week.

01:45So they go Head Islanders, Carolina

01:47and then two with the Blue Jackets.

01:49Okay, so that's what they end with.

01:52Yeah, yeah.

01:54Then they play the Islanders again on the 15th.

01:56So what do you think of him?

01:58Like what he's done?

02:00Like he's, I said yesterday, he's won the cup

02:04and he'll be the greatest scorer in the history of the NHL

02:09with the unobtainable goal of passing Gretzky

02:14that no one thought would ever be broken.

02:17My whole life they said it would never be broken

02:19but he's gonna break that

02:20and he's gonna win a Stanley Cup

02:22and I think he can go to his grave,

02:25one of the greatest, if not the greatest player ever.

02:29Yeah, well, greatest player ever, I don't know

02:31because Wayne's totals on the assists dominate

02:33but you're right, Scotty,

02:35this record was never gonna be broken.

02:36Like when he went to 600 people started saying,

02:38oh, okay, maybe, maybe, but not like this.

02:42Like he's gonna clear the bar easily.

02:44And here's the thing, Scotty,

02:45it's a really good team this year to Washington Capitals.

02:48So if he breaks the record and they win the cup,

02:51it would be a second ring.

02:52What's there to play for next season?

02:53Like he might go back to Russia after this year

02:57if they win the cup.

02:58I really think that's a possibility

02:59because there's nothing more to do.

03:01His legacy's cemented and if you're a two-time cup winner,

03:03maybe to get a third cup if they went again

03:05to match Sid, but other than that,

03:09there's nothing more for this guy to do.

03:11He is the greatest goal scorer, period.

03:13Not of our generation, not of the 2000s, period.

03:17It's a massive record.

03:18This is a major, major sporting event.
