00:00Wayne Gretzky set the bar so high, Pete, on scoring, assist, and what have you.
00:05We never thought that would ever be touched here.
00:07And here's Alexander Ovechkin with almost 900 goals
00:10and doesn't even seem to be slowing down in his late 30s at this point.
00:14Talk to you about Alex Ovechkin, what he's meant to the Washington franchise and the NHL.
00:21Oh, yeah.
00:22I don't think there's ever been a hockey player with the combination of the shot volume,
00:28the goal scoring, the physicality, and the durability of Alex Ovechkin.
00:33And that's hands down, really.
00:35You could say that Gretzky owns many other records.
00:38Based on records.nhl.com, he owns 59 different records in the NHL.
00:44So still probably the GOAT overall.
00:46But in terms of the fantasy GOAT and the category coverage and the prop king, you could say,
00:53I mean, with those shot props and goal props over the years,
00:56Alex Ovechkin has made his mark as one of the all-time great NHL players.
01:00He's actually the all-time leader in goals, power play goals, shots on goal, game-winning goals,
01:06overtime goals, and he ranks third in hits.
01:09So the category coverage is unmatched no matter what you're doing out there.
01:14And it's just crazy to see what he's doing at 39.
01:17Gretzky, at 38, when his career was winding down, only had two goals in his final 21 games of his career.
01:25And Ovechkin is just off the charts in his 39-year-old season.
01:30I mean, he's fourth in goals this season overall,
01:33and one of the hottest players in the league since the Four Nations break.
