In the seasons that haven't been eliminated/shortened by lockout/Covid, Ovechkin has averaged 48 goals. If those seasons would have happened as intended (04/05, 12/13, 19/20, 20/21), Ovechkin would have gone into this season with 816 goals. If we assume he would have scored less in his rookie year, lets round down to 800. Add the 36 for this season, that's 836. He should have been well on his way to passing Wayne and on to 1000 goals. I figure all those ENs make up for all the games he missed through no fault of his own.

Would Ovechkin be more accomplished having won another Cup or having this record? I think No Cup but having the record would have been disappointing. But now that he already has a Cup, having the record in place of another Cup is better. A lot of guys win Stanley Cups. Only one can claim most goals all time. On another note, I wish the Capitals were better so he could load up on ENG. Remember, he missed out on about 75 goals from lockout/Covid-cancelled games. He's earned a few gimmes.
