Broke his leg then broke Gretzky's record in the same season. Also scored 40 while doing it. Savage

[nettlecarrier]

Sorokin only let Ovi break the record and completely shut the door after that

[stillcovalent]

History is made. Congrats the Great 8!

[augustussohn]

No words. Beautiful day.
I do like how Sorokin shut the door after that. "Ovi, you get yours, but after that, nope."

[Drunkenmaster]

what a great day to be an Islanders fan, your team wins and you get to witness history!

I was born in 2006 and growing up as a nhl fan. Congrats Ovechkin for breaking the all time goals record with 895 goals.

Congrats Ovi! You did what everyone once thought was impossible.

[vladhook]

Сорокин тоже вошел в историю - дал забить Михалычу 895, но при этом забрал эту важную игру. Красавцы оба...

[VanMichael]

Hey I guess as an Islanders fan you can't complain because you got to witness history and watch your team win.

[bleudechanelparis]

We are all here for the one thing. And we have seen it today!

"Patrick Roy surely thinks that oh my god Ovechkin is going to break the record while I'm the opposing coach, but I won't look so ridiculous because I will have won the game hahaha

[kenduffy]

Best goal scorer of my generation and the angrier he got the more physical and better he played, I’m gen-X. Looks like the NY Isles found a diamond in the rough with Marc Gatcomb

[benderbendingrodriguez]

Historic game. Congrats Ovi, the all time greatest goal scorer

A date that will be forever immortalized in NHL history.

[HSteffen]

What a great sportsman! Greetz from Germany

[justinnzamora]

2:23 Thank me later.

Did the Islanders win the game? Yes. Was history still made by Washington's Great 8? Also, yes!

Kudos to Alexander Ovechkin!

[robertsubert]

Good strategy - let him score to be in the books and then defeat

[scorpiothegreat]

That NY crowd was loud for Ovi. Not sure Washington would have been much louder. Crazy!

[FrenchTicklerdd]

Don't think i've heard a bigger roar in a opposing building before

[DrMcKay]

That roar when Ovi scores must have been the most loud cheer for a goal from an away game ever. 😂
