Alexander Ovechkin does not get praised enough because he has not finished or accomplished what Wayne Gretzky has attained. Ovechkin has faced mighty feats whether winning the 2018 Stanley Cup or joining Gordie Howie and Wayne Gretzky with 800 career goals.
Something crazy took place Sunday afternoon, and I mean spectacular. He surpassed all-time NHL great Wayne Gretzky with 895 goals off a goal to Ilya Sorokin of the New York Islanders in UBS Arena and the crowd went wild. His teammates partied and huddled around him and afterwards Gary Bettman and Wayne Gretzky came down the aisle to congratulate Mr. Ovechkin.
It was a self-serving event as one’s got to wonder left all the accomplishments that do remain for Ovechkin as he is not far from over from being one of the greatest of all time.
