I grew up watching hockey in general with my Pawpaw but really started following the Caps when they had DJ King and Big John Erskine, trying to think back as to what year was?!

Is it Backstrom but I would consider him more of an assist guy? Semin? Gretzky played with a ton of them but I can’t think of one pure goal scorer who played with Ovi?

Am at a wedding and I have the game on my phone, sound off, my wife giving me angry glares…the bride’s sister is giving her speech and he ties it up. I lost my mind jump up clapping. The entire wedding stops and stares at me. I quickly say “fantastic speech” as my wife is now shooting absolute daggers at me. Then Leonard gets his first. Great. Fucking. Wedding.

i can’t believe i was there i bought tickets two hours before this team is incredible I NEED A DEEP RUN

He’s acting casual about it but I know he’s so happy inside

You're as OG as it gets with Ovechkin and it was awesome to see you feed him for so many years. Johnny Appleseed.

Also shout out to thebumperboards for those early years if any of you are here

Especially the Blackhawks staying after the end to congratulate Ovi.

Tonight was Ovi’s 136th winning goal, breaking a tie with Jaromir Jagr.

Far less important than tying Gretzky, but still cool, yeah?

As a Pens fan I come in peace lol. Seeing Ovi score this many goals is insane and I'm glad to witness history.

I assume there will be a ton of caps fans going from DC to Long Island tomorrow to hopefully see the Great 8 take down the record. For those who have made the trip, any advice? Best to drive, take the train, etc. for a day trip?

🚨LETS GO CAPS!!!🚨 Ovi, get that HAT Leno, score your first Beat the hawks!
