Just like his slapshot, or just when he shots a puck towards the goal, which is super fast. Alex Ovechkin became the fifth fastest player in their careers to reach the 500 goal milestone. Ovechkin is behind Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux to name a few. Also Alex Ovechkin is the first Russian born player to join the 500 Goal Club.
To make things even more amazing about this event in his career, he managed to score his 500th goal at home. He also managed to score his 501st in the same game. Leading up to scoring his 500th goal, Ovechkin was on a scoring streak, before the game against the Ottawa Senators where he scored his milestone goal, he was on fire against the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden. With Ovechkin scoring the first goal (498th career goal) for the Washington Capitals and scoring the last overtime goal, which then would be his 499th career goal. Want to see the videos? This one and here is another one. He's one of those amazing hockey players to watch. He has amazing talent, so it's worth your time to check these two goals out. I told you his shot was fast, once he has an eye on an opening to score a goal, you won't be able to see the puck. You know it went in due to the red light going off with the buzzer.
It was very cool to see him score his 500th and 501st goal in person. I was not there, I was watching it on TV. It's quite an honor to tell my future kids about this one day, saying I saw one of the greatest hockey players of all time in the NHL score one of his milestone goals. It is always fun to see if he can hit thirty goals during a season, which he has done for all his seasons (11 seasons of playing in the NHL). I think you want to see it too, so here is Alex Ovechkin's 500th goal and his 501st goal. He did not stop scoring from there, he is now working his way to 600th goal and more. At the rate he is going you could possibly see the first NHL player to score a thousand goals? Who knows maybe this Russian kid can beat off the all time leading scorer of the NHL off his place, Wayne Gretzky with 894 goals. Wayne why did you stop? No seriously, the Great One, why?! The only reason now I am bring up Gretzky is that there are now debates about who is better: Ovechkin or Gretzky? That one is hard to tell, I figure that time will tell on it's own.
Also the NHL made a little video honoring and welcoming Alex Ovechkin into the 500 Goal Club. They also did an ceramony welcoming him into it as well, the video is below.
Just like what Teemu Selänne said, Ovi I cannot wait for your 800th goal. Bring it on home, and give us more to watch. You're a great athlete, and what you teammates have been saying about you in news articles and interviews you're one hell of a teammate and one hell of a guy!
