00:00
But we saw some history in the National Hockey League.
00:03
Alex Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretzky for the most goals
00:07
in the history of the NHL, which is remarkable.
00:15
Absolutely incredible.
00:16
If you ever want a chuckle, you go look at Wayne Gretzky
00:24
and where he sits on the all-time list
00:27
and how it stacks up next to everyone else that's played that sport.
00:34
His points number, the assist numbers, these things,
00:37
they'll never be touched.
00:39
The trip down Wayne Gretzky, the NHL reference,
00:44
is one of my favorite trips to take.
00:47
I had a buddy, shout-out-of-my-guy Dave.
00:49
He and I used to work a kind of office job together.
00:52
And, I don't know, once a month, it was just Gretzky Day.
00:58
And we'd go through it all.
01:01
And the idea that someone actually caught Wayne Gretzky on anything
01:06
is remarkable.
01:09
It's awesome.
01:11
And there's a couple of things there.
01:15
One, before the weekend, they had posted a prop
01:21
of would Wayne Gretzky, excuse me,
01:25
would Ovechkin break the record in the regular season?
01:31
It's like minus 260.
01:35
Sure did.
01:36
Got himself on a heater.
01:37
He scored in every single game this month.
01:40
He did it with still five games to spare.
01:42
And that's where, and maybe an appropriate thing to remember
01:47
with draft season coming up, sometimes minus 260
01:51
is a great, great bet.
01:54
And ended up the case if you played Ovee
01:57
to get this done in the regular season,
02:01
which is what everybody was expecting.
