L’attaquant des Capitals Alex Ovechkin avec un tir sur réception de sa place pour donner à Washington une avance de 2-1 sur les Hurricanes en 2e période.
It’s the crazy thing about Ovi, and what makes him so good. He has done this his whole career. Everyone on every team knows it’s coming. He still keeps doing it anyway.
Sure, he doesn’t skate as fast as he used to. That shot is absurd and every player on the ice has to respect him every time he is out there. It makes people think, and it makes space for his teammates.
People will say "he just scores from the same spot every time". Yes. He's that good that the goalie knows what he's going to do and *he still does it*. That's the point! Jonathan Quick has talked about this previously
Brendan Shanahan's favorite spot on the ice as well. Wings knew he would always set up in that circle and just dish it to him for the one-timer. But Ovi's release is just devastating as usual. Other's may have higher velocity, but Ovi's release? fuhgeddaboutit.
He has scored a ton of goals just like this, but he has also scored a ton of goals in every different way imaginable. He is a freak, a machine, a legend.
imagine if ovi started his nhl career as an 18 year old and no lock out causing him to miss games….he'd already be on Gretzky's heels or maybe already surpassed him…just incredible.
It’s about time, compared to seasons before his production, in terms of goals has been down in the beginning of the season, hopefully he can start to ramp it up a little bit just not when up against the bruins thanks😂
Is there any doubt that Ovi has the best shot of all time? Sure, others were more powerful but not as accurate. You could argue that Brett Hull's one-timer was very comparable but it didn't stay great for as long as Ovi.
He positions himself to the best advantage and takes the best shot that has a chance of getting past the goalie. Sometimes he gets lucky. This was one of those times. There are no guarantees. But he is great because of those choices he makes.

Say what you will about Ovi, but you gotta love the way he’s sooo predictable but manages to score regardless. And from the SAME EXACT SPOT!
Man, how many times has he scored at that exact spot??! 😂😂😂 Absolutely ridiculous
I was going to guess Betmans V agina.

Such a legend
Video paused at the very beginning:
top of the left circle?

If you want to highlight all the goal ovi score in is career just show this sequence😂
Ovi is turning it in baby.
I hope Ovi plays as long as Jagr. Two personalities the league desperately needs more of.
Scary good 🚨🎃👻
You couldn’t even see it until it Came back out of the net!
PEW!
Almost every Ovi goal ever
who wants to be a millionaire? First question….

Never would have guessed.
Keep hating instead of appreciating his greatness teams know yet they still can’t stop it he’s the greatest goal scorer unbelievable ❤

Feels like playing your best friend in EA NHL video game and losing because he uses the same goal every time……
На данный момент мастер голов только в большинстве и в пустые ворота. Забивая только так, к 50 годам рекорд Гретцки точно побьёт
ovi is hilarious, dude just stands there his whole career doing nothing and waits for someone to give him the puck
Will Ovi pass Gretzky

Not in the shootout.
The NHL is rigged, right? This proves it right? I don't understand why people skate away from him and leave him open like that. He just stands there.
This man has made an arguable top 10 certified top 20 all time player in that circle alone
Nice one timer
Not the penalty shootout that's for sure
i think i saw fire around that puck 🤣🤣

Hilarious video title. So true. A completely uninspiring player who could hold the goals record.
Boring.
Gotta respect the rest of the players that draws the play away from ovi to set up this one timer
I knew it ;p
If only every play could be that 2-2-1 high set up.
Ovy's one timers from the circle is like when Gretzky would go behind the net.
So funny they don’t just put a defensive player in that spot and tell him “don’t leave this spot”
with 5 years left on his deal. hes absolutely beating gretzky
They just need to change the name of the right circle to the O-Zone.
Ovechkin has this God-given ability to make other teams forget he exists.
I love it. Just like the empty netter last game.
Alex you are the best man 👌👍💪
