Amazing When You Consider

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

It still amazes me that after three seasons of play, Alex Ovechkin is 3rd all-time for the most goals scored after Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy in that time period. He is ahead of Mario Lemieux and every other great player that has ever played the game in NHL history. As I said, Alex is a historic player. If Alex Semin is healthy this season and develops to his capabilities, I believe it is possible that we could have two 50 goal scorers this season. Last season, to have the leading forward goal scorer in the league (Ovechkin) and the leading D man scorer in Mike Green was also a first in a long, long time.
