“Ovechkin’s Historic Milestone: The Untold Moments Behind His Record-Breaking 895th Goal”
“Wayne, you’ll always be The Great One and you had a record that nobody ever thought would be broken,” Bettman said. “But Alex, you did it. You’ve been amazing.”
Gretzky, who was in Washington on Friday when Ovechkin tied his record, said he’s not sure this record will ever be topped.
“I wish the Islanders and the New York fans all the best, but we’re here today to celebrate this guy here, No. 8,” Gretzky said. “I can tell you firsthand, I know how hard it is to get 894. 895 is pretty special. My congratulations to not only Alex, his mom and dad, his family, his wife and kids. When I broke the record, my two kids were about the age of his boys, so it’s kind of reminiscent for me and I’m so happy that two of my boys are here tonight. But there’s nothing better than the National Hockey League. They say records are made to be broken, but I’m not sure who’s going to get more goals than that. It’s the greatest game in the world. I want to congratulate every organization, the Commissioner and the League.
