Honestly, we thought we would have a little more time to put this little post together. As in an entire off-season. After all, when Alex Ovechkin missed 16 games earlier this year with a broken leg we were among those who thought his quest would come up just a little short this season. Instead, Ovi turned back the clock and started potting goals like a 23-year-old, not a 39-year-old.
All he did was knock out 27 goals in 43 games since he returned on December 28th. Yes, one of those games was against the Lightning, and he scored the lone Washington goal in a 3-1 Tampa Bay victory.
