As the NHL 2024-25 season nears its end, Alex Ovechkin stands 16 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's long-standing record for most goals in NHL history. Ovechkin's remarkable journey began nearly two decades ago during his NHL debut on October 5, 2005, when he scored two goals against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Notably, he showcased his future power-play prowess and physical play, marking the start of a legendary career that has captivated fans and analysts alike, highlighting his significant impact on the game.
You'd say it's almost like a coincidence, but obviously where he scores that first goal, and it's not exactly in his power-play spot, but it was a one-timer.
Man, if you knew then; just throw pucks over there and they end up in the net.
You know when you talk about a baseball player and it's just a different sound coming off a bat, or a golfer, it's a different sound? The hit was a different sound.
