He has solidified his face on the Mount Rushmore of hockey. Not even a debate.

Guys a living legend. I never thought anyone would ever in my wildest dreams break Gretzky's goal record. I guess that's why they say records are meant to be broken. Props to The Great 8

To be able to watch him and Crosby is unreal. Both generational coming in at the same time. Ovachicken is the best goal scorer IMO ever. To do what he’s doing in today’s game is insane. What’s crazier is how no team can lock him down from the same area. Truly a legend.

Greatest goal scorer ever. A beast on the ice.

As a lifelong Caps fan, I'd really like to thank all the fans in Chicago for being absolute class acts for this incredible milestone. If he wasnt going to do it at Capital One, ChiTown is probably the next best place...what an amazing response from some awesome sports fans.

Congratulations Alex 👍👍!
You are probably the best player in NHL and a real gentleman on and off the ice 👍👍!!!

People always never fully appreciate a once in a lifetime player when they see one until they’re gone. I’m just happy I’ve got to watch ovi from start to finish in the nhl from when I was 8 years old and I’m now 24 and in my mind once he’s gone and in the hall of fame there will be no doubt he is a top 5 player all time if he breaks Gretzkys goal record he will be in my opinion a top 3 player to ever play the game.

Creeping up on Gretzky as an oilers fan I absolutely love it. It’s nice too see players break past records. Gretzky was great for his time and McDavid and Leon are doing the same now breaking records and I hope Ovi reaches his goal we all know he won’t retire until he dose congratulations Ovi 800 goals that’s amazing

Grats to Ovi. Always been my favourite player on and off the ice

[jimsweeney]

Congratulations Ovi! 95 more to go. Your a class act and legend. I've really enjoyed watching you and the Caps over the years. Thank you for 2018 again. And who knows maybe one more. You guys are playing amazing right now. Keep it up!

[andrewholland]

Love it Obviously they love Ovie. What a Machine

[CJMattias]

Gretzky scored against goalies wearing nothing but pyjamas in an era with 2x the goalscoring.
Ovechkin is the best by a long shot.
Wayne wouldn't hit 500 goals in todays hockey, not even close.
