Despite losing last night's game, Alex Ovechkin scored, now just 12 goals shy of breaking the all-time goal record, marking his 19th season with 30 or more goals. The article emphasizes Ovechkin's significance beyond just scoring and highlights the Capitals’ strength in the league. There is a shift in the NHL's broadcasting focus toward the Capitals, reinforcing their status as a powerhouse. The dialogue around the Presidents' Trophy is addressed, dismissing the myth of it being a curse, and wishing a happy birthday to an influential figure in the Capitals' community.
It went into the books as a loss, but at least Alex Ovechkin scored a goal, putting him just 12 away from breaking the record and giving him his 19th 30-goal season.
The question no longer should be whether the Caps can keep up with the NHL's best, but whether the rest of the NHL can keep up with them.
