Alex Ovechkin recently surpassed Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal scoring record with 895 goals. A detailed analysis by Dom Luszczyszyn in The Athletic highlighted Ovechkin's skillful shooting technique, particularly from his shooter's spot on the ice. Ovechkin's unmatched precision is evident, as he consistently places his shots beyond the reach of goaltenders, aiming for optimal angles within the net. This analysis showcases how Ovechkin's approach to scoring involves meticulous placement, emphasizing his extraordinary talent in the sport, even for those less familiar with hockey.
After watching every goal Ovechkin has ever scored from his spot, what became clear is how often he made damn sure that the goalie had absolutely no shot at stopping what was coming.
Even with a gaping net facing him, Ovechkin would very often put pucks as far out of reach from a goalie's potential grasp.
