00:00But we saw some history in the National Hockey League.

00:03Alex Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretzky for the most goals

00:07in the history of the NHL, which is remarkable.

00:15Absolutely incredible.

00:16If you ever want a chuckle, you go look at Wayne Gretzky

00:24and where he sits on the all-time list

00:27and how it stacks up next to everyone else that's played that sport.

00:34His points number, the assist numbers, these things,

00:37they'll never be touched.

00:39The trip down Wayne Gretzky, the NHL reference,

00:44is one of my favorite trips to take.

00:47I had a buddy, shout-out-of-my-guy Dave.

00:49He and I used to work a kind of office job together.

00:52And, I don't know, once a month, it was just Gretzky Day.

00:58And we'd go through it all.

01:01And the idea that someone actually caught Wayne Gretzky on anything

01:06is remarkable.

01:09It's awesome.

01:11And there's a couple of things there.

01:15One, before the weekend, they had posted a prop

01:21of would Wayne Gretzky, excuse me,

01:25would Ovechkin break the record in the regular season?

01:31It's like minus 260.

01:35Sure did.

01:36Got himself on a heater.

01:37He scored in every single game this month.

01:40He did it with still five games to spare.

01:42And that's where, and maybe an appropriate thing to remember

01:47with draft season coming up, sometimes minus 260

01:51is a great, great bet.

01:54And ended up the case if you played Ovee

01:57to get this done in the regular season,

02:01which is what everybody was expecting.
