By now you must have seen the goal. If for some reason you missed it -- no TV, no Internet or family catastrophe would be the only acceptable reasons -- please grab a cup of Joe, fire up your video player and watch in awe.
Prepare for drooling. It's another breathtaking performance from the game's greatest showman.
Alex Ovechkin's marvelous display of skill, creativity, strength and power produced arguably the goal of the season 10:07 into Washington's 4-3 shootout win against Montreal Wednesday night, and instantly shot up the list of his most brilliant goals to date.
He used his backhand to bank the puck off the boards in front of the penalty boxes and get around defenseman Roman Hamrlik. Ovechkin then skated through the left circle and kept powering through after being hooked off his skates by Kyle Chipchura. While sliding into the crease, Ovechkin unbelievably managed to poke the puck past the right pad of stunned goalie Carey Price for his League-best 42nd goal of the season.
