On This Day, 20 Years Ago, Alex Ovechkin Gave Us “The Goal” – Simply Sensational!!!

11 comments

1. Greatest goal of all time

2. 10/10 goal. if this had happened in the modern jersey, it would only be a 9.8/10.

3. *”That was a really nice goal…. And he knows that, too.”*

   

4. “Woa, that pretty good goal” – you’re an absolute beaut OV

5. Was watching the Monumental crew discuss this in post-game last night. One super interesting fact that honestly gave me chills was Joe B saying it’s the only time he’s used the phrase “simply sensational” on air… and that he wouldn’t say it again until OVI hangs em up. That final line delivery is bout to be 🔥

6. For me, this cemented my love for Joe B and how lucky we are as a team fanbase to have him and Craig call the play-by-play. I’ve heard nothing but good things about those gentlemen. Any night they aren’t calling the game, I don’t feel bad if I tune out early. I’m going to be sad when Ovi retires, but I’ll cry when those two do.

7. TWENTY YEARS LATER, IT IS SIMPLY SENFUCKINGS8TIONAL THAT HE’S THE ALL TIME LEADING GOAL SCORER!

8. Just want to say how lucky we are to still get to see Ovi play live with our own eyes. So enjoy every game you’re at the arena and watch Ovi on ice because there aren’t too many games left…

9. nice goal

10. These sweaters need to come back!!! Ted!! Give the ppl what they want!!!

11. Good awareness by Halpern too not to tap it in.
