Ovechkin passes Jagr with 767 goals, third in NHL history

It’s going to be forever, and I hope somebody is going to break my record.

Jagr played 1,733 NHL games during 24 seasons with nine teams, including 83 goals in 190 games for the Capitals , and last played in the NHL for the Calgary Flames in 2017.

“Alex, ‘The Great 8,’ congratulations,” Jagr said in a video posted on Twitter.

“If he didn’t go back to the KHL, I think he would be 2 or maybe No.

Finally, ‘Kuzy’ wins a good face-off right on my stick.

It’s special for ‘Ovi’, for his family, for the guys in the room, especially the ones that have been here with him for a long time, for the fan base that’s been here and supporting him.

“I’m pretty sure one day when I’m going to retire, I hope he’s going to be still friends with me.
