Alex The "8"...Simply Sensational!!!

When even Wayne Gretzky can be blown away by the sight of Alex Ovechkin, wouldn't you think the hockey world ought to be paying SOME attention to what we Capitals fans (in the DC and surrounding areas, as well) already know???

     Even though the Caps lost tonight to the L.A. Kings 5-4, it's still worth celebrating the fact Alex Ovechkin got goal #200 for his career late in the 3rd period.     To be honest, the Caps looked flat tonight. Tied @ 1 apiece after the first period--then in the span of 1:45 to start the 2nd, it was L.A. 3, Caps 2. From that point on it was a question of whether the Caps would mount a comeback, not if.     Not much else to say about the game, really. Outside of Alex's getting #200, that is.

Ovechkin has 363 career points in 283 regular-season games. Remarkably, despite missing 2 games, it's not out of the question that Ovechkin could reach 500 shots on goal this season. He has 240 through his 38 games played. If he keeps that pace, he'd be at 480 for 76 games, leaving just 20 needed in the last four games.500 shots is ...…
