The Great One/Wayne Gretzky's record for most career goals in the NHL tied by Alex Overchkin of the Washington Capitals

Ovechkin scores twice to tie Gretzky's NHL goals record at 894 as Capitals beat Blackhawks 5-3

One of those records I thought would not be broken in my lifetime.

Whoops, shoulda done my 'home work'
before posting

AO is known as The Great 8...referencing his jersey #.

He broke the record today. The NY Post had a headline using Alexander The Great so that may suffice.

@WhatInThe ...did you hear his 'speech'
'caught' part.
Impressed by him saying We did it.

As a long suffering New York Islanders fan, I say, "Whoop de doo!"

They Say Matthews from the laughing Leafs might be able get there... But I agree, I didn't think WG's records would be beaten, and Sid the Kid, passed WG's assists...
