Alexander Ovechkin is scoring goals and having fun at a non stop pace.

With a playoff spot on the line, he gave the Washington Capitals exactly what they needed. Ovechkin became the NHL’s first 60-goal scorer in 12 years by getting two Friday night in the Capitals’ comeback 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers. No one in the NHL had hit the 60-goal mark since the 1995-96 season when Pittsburgh’s Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr both did it.
Ovechkin’s previous best was 52 goals, accomplished in his rookie season of 2005-06. Ovechkin assisted on Washington’s final two goals, giving him a four-point night and increasing his league-leading point total to 106. All right I am going to say a couple things about this blog…the first thing is that I think I have written maybe 4 blogs on hockey in the past couple months and besides the one I wrote yesterday they have all been about either Ovechkin or Sid the Kid! Ovechkin is on a tare and can not be stopped…UNBELIEVEABLE! And Sid the Kid if he was not hurt for those couple games he would be right behind him.
The next thing that I am thinking about my hockey blogs is how I have been saying that they must market these two players and do nothing but focus on these two! Then the NHL will be what it used to be…I mean I hate watching Hockey but if these two were playing I would most definitely watch!
