Alex Ovechkin is Good

If you haven't seen this goal from last night, puckheads, check it out.  Even if you don't like hockey, have never watched it, or don't know what it is, you can appreciate how good this goal is:

WOW.  Alex Ovechkin is absolutely fantastic.  He leads the NHL in goals with 42.  The next highest total is a whopping eight goals behind.  (New Jersey's Zach Parise has 34.)  He's 2nd in the league in points with 75 (only Evgeni Malkin has more, with 82) and his Capitals have the 2nd highest point total in the Eastern Conference, basically thanks to him.

How great is that goal?  He says it's top 10 in his career.  But here's the one he says is the best he's ever scored.

I agree.
