897 goals in hockey! Gretzky had it for the longest time!

The 897 NHL regular season goals scored by Ovechkin looks unbeatable now, yep.

Unbelievable. I remember the days when the Soviets didn't believe in using players over the age of 30 on their national "amateur" teams. They laughed at the idea of someone Gordie Howe's age playing in the NHL then in the WHA with his sons.

Ovechkin scored 36 goals in the RSL so his total regular season tally comes to 933 in both major leagues.

Btw, whereas Gretzky scored a total of 940 regular season goals in the NHL and the WHA combined, the elder Howe scored a combined 1071 in both leagues. That may be what Ovechkin is going for... (perhaps not)
