Don’t miss your chance to become part of hockey history in War Thunder. Let’s celebrate this sporting triumph together!
I think this is a great event! I’m a massive fan of the sport (a diehard Red Wings fan, which has been a a struggle for years to put it lightly) and a fan of War Thunder. Ovi is a great player (happy to say I saw him play in person in several games during the 2005 IIHF World Junior Championships) and his 895th goal was an incredible and historic moment to watch on TV. He’ll net many more, too, before he hangs up his skates for good.
