Likely a season-saving win today against the Stars of all teams. That does feel good
Dallas is our slump-buster! I still go back to the December 27th game, Wild fly into Dallas that morning, team gets horrible news about Kaprizov and he’s out, then they go win in OT. Dallas is our get-right team 
Crazy thing about Ovi breaking the record is that he missed about the equivalent of 2 NHL seasons due to the lockout and covid shortened seasons… 2!!
He’s likely be close to 1,000 goals if he played them…
Crazy that Gretzky is still 1200 something points in front of 8. Fun to watch today. Kind of glad the game didn’t have really playoff implications as the celebration which was deserved really halted that game.

Don’t be a fun hater Rip! Gretzky is still the great one. Nothing is changing that. Ovi is now the goal scoring leader and he’s earned it. Two way different eras and we can argue for weeks about how each of them would do in each other’s era but it’s useless. Gretz was all class about this whole thing which says a lot. Dickerson who was threatened with losing his record in the NFL said no, that’s my record I don’t want anyone to break it.
Not hating at all. I just thinks it’s wild the all time leading goal scorer with 895 goals is still 1200 points behind the point leader.
That would be similar to Emmit smith rushing yards and TD record. Or Bonds HR record being roughly a third behind the RBI leader. I find that stat just as interesting.
Pretty sure I said it was fun to watch.
Not sure what Eric Dickerson has to do with any of it as that was a single season record. This is an all time career record. Pretty different IMO.

Its different for sure. I was just saying the way Gretzky handled this is vastly different than Dickerson. Gretzky was all class. Granted, he knew no one will ever come close to the total points record.
