One more goal, and Our Hero ties Mario Lemieux. I stand by what I said at the beginning of the season; by the end of the season, Ovi will have surpassed Mark Messier, and maybe Mike Gartner. Phil Esposito is still within the realm of possibility. At .646 goals per game over an 82 game season, Ovi is on pace for 52-53 goals. He's got 31 in 48 games, so he'll have to work at it if he wants to catch Espo... but I have learned not to bet against the Great Eight, like... ever.
