At 39 and in his 20th NHL season, Alex Ovechkin made waves by surpassing Wayne Gretzky for the most career goals in NHL history. In a thrilling playoff opener against the Montreal Canadiens, he contributed significantly, scoring the first goal, assisting on the second, and netting an overtime winner—the latter being a notable achievement he had not previously accomplished. His historic moments are celebrated, and players like goalie Logan Thompson laud Ovechkin as possibly the best player in the world, adding to his remarkable legacy.
This is Alex Ovechkin's season. This is still Alex Ovechkin's franchise. This is Alex Ovechkin, doing stuff he has never done.
Every time Ovechkin finds the back of the net, there's a historic feel. Add something he hadn't done - when he checks one of the few boxes he hasn't checked - and it gets to another level.
