A historic moment in hockey

[Por_sha911]

I have to admit that as little as about 5 months ago when Ovi started to look like he would beat the record, I didn't like the idea of "The Great One" being beat. Over the last year I have come to accept that "The Great Eight" earned it.

I wish I could find a clearer pic. If anyone can find a clear one please let me know where.

A great moment indeed. I'm sure that Ovi will add to the record.

Amazing day in NHL history.

Lucky he's good at hockey cause he's not very good at speeches. lol

Did you guys hear Sue Birds commentary duing the Final Four about Ovi's Mom owning one of the team's she played for...they called him Sasha.

Ovi totally earned my respect last week when he brought the entire Cap's team out of the tunnel after the game to pay tribute to their last game with Fleury. Really a class move.

+1 Especially since "the flower" was his opponent as a Pen.

I knew I could count on Flatty to find a better pic - my Google-foo was weak today.

Gretzky is such a class act. I loved him wearing the number 9 to also honor Mr Hockey

Even a southern rock dweller knows who he is ...

A class act for sure

Amazingly both Greats achieved the goal count in a similar amount of games.

Also amazing is Gretzky held the record for the same amount of time as Howe.

I think it’s cool as hell.
