But just from a hockey standpoint, it's good for the game.
00:03
People, and it is unbelievable
00:06
that he's not backing into this thing, right?
00:09
I remember a couple of years ago,
00:10
I thought, yeah, he's going to get the record,
00:13
but you know, he's going to have to hang around to do it.
00:15
It'll be like, you know, sort of thought like that.
00:18
Like, yeah, it'll be at the backend of his career
00:20
and he'll bury a couple of goals and he'll get the record.
00:23
That's not the case.
00:25
Like this dude, what, he's got 41 goals now.
00:28
So like he's scoring, he's playing at a top level on,
00:33
you know, arguably the best team.
00:34
I don't, I'm not saying they're the best team,
00:35
but they're one of the best teams statistically
00:37
in the National Hockey League.
00:40
So he's not backing into it
00:41
by any stretch of the imagination.
00:43
And you are witnessing history.
00:45
So you take out all this other stuff and the noise
00:48
and stuff, you are witnessing history here.
00:50
And well, I guess we can get into it later.
00:51
Will anybody be able to break his record now after the fact?
00:55
You never say never, right?
00:58
The thing with Gretzky is though,
00:59
Gretzky had the goals and the assists.
01:02
That's the difference with Gretzky.
01:04
Ovechkin just has the goals.
01:05
He doesn't have the assists as well,
01:07
but Gretzky was in attendance.
