Im not even a Caps fan but Ovechkin lifting the cup was one of the coolest moments I have witnessed in sports

Great Dane! Love that Eller feller.
Just simply ignore the one who is here to muckrake and is trying to drag the thread off topic. He's on a mission.
No one said that Ovie single handedly won the Cup for the Caps. Cups are a team award and he certainly had a lot of help. The team certainly pulled together under his leadership. He was, however, fully deserving of the Conn Smythe.
Now back to talking about Ovie's milestones.

Brutal schedule almost over. Another 3rd game in 4 nights. Got to be tough on a 36 year old and yet Ovie keeps producing and scoring clutch goals.
Ovie ties Jari Kurri for 21st all time in points with 1,398. He scored the GWG which was his 121st of his career, tying Gordie Howe for second all time. (Jagr leads with 135.)
Ovie has also now scored 300 more goals than any other Washington Capital. Peter Bondra had 472.

Some stats for you guys:
Ovechkin was the fastest player to go from career goals 600-700. He did that in 154 games which was a .649 goals per game pace and a 53.3 goals rate over an 82 game season.
Since then he has 72 goals in his last 118 games played. That’s a .610 goals per game and a 50.0 goals rate over an 82 game season.
He’s still bringing it on the way from 700-800 career goals.

I'm still mad what the lockout seasons did to hinder Crosby, Ovechkin, et al. career totals. Just an utter shame.

So basically OV is all time leader in clutch goals in regular season: goals to tie a game or put team ahead,
he has 398, next one is Brett Hull with 392

Ovie is clutch, that's for sure. 52% of his goals fit into those categories.

Ovie is currently 5th all time in career goals including playoffs, with 843. He's about to be tied with Jagr and Hull at 844.
Gretzky is 1st (1,016) and Howe 2nd (869).

Underrated stat from Ovi's 42nd goal of the season:
-> Tied Esposito for the 2nd most goals ever scored in a 36 year old season (1st is 48)
-> 3rd highest goal total for any 36 year old (or older) season
-> 4th highest goal total for any 35 year old (or older) season
He's also currently tied for the 11th highest point total of a 36 year old season (94 is first, 90 is 3rd)
-> Tied Esposito for the 2nd most goals ever scored in a 36 year old season (1st is 48)
-> 3rd highest goal total for any 36 year old (or older) season
-> 4th highest goal total for any 35 year old (or older) season

1000% agree with this. Mcphees dumb****ery should have gotten him been banned from the NHL. From Theodore and Huet to Morrison, Jurcina, Erskine. Mcphee bargain bin shopped, drafted poorly (you dont get credit for a top 10 pick) and didnt have the stones to make "hockey trades" that would matter until he traded Forsberg in a last ditch effort to save his job. Then on top of him wasting the beginning of Ovis career, he lucked his way into the ridiculous setup the NHL had for whoever became the first gm of Vegas. He wrongfully gets credit for that.

Yep. GMGM was terrible in a lot of ways. It was a great turning point for this franchise when he finally got canned. It was only when GMBM finally got some depth on D and stopped dumpster diving for cardboard cutouts that the Caps really made progress and eventually won the Cup.

Your comment achieved more than a modicum of failure on its own so I guess you have that.
He plays the Canes though. Go ahead and give him at least one. Maybe 2. One will probably be a game winner. I have zero confidence when we play the Caps

3rd game in 4 nights for the Caps and the end of a brutal stretch for the Caps. Ovie, at 36 years old, has got to be dog tired.
I'd be very happy with one goal for Ovie.
