Alexander Ovechkin put the 60 Goal mark closer today after scoring the empty net goal in todays Washington Capitals 4-2 defeat over the Nashville Predators.
Ovechkin scored his 58th goal of the season while trying to clear the puck in the closing seconds of the game.
Ovechkin scored an empty-netter at 19:56 of the third with a bank shot off of the boards from inside his own blue line that barely made it over the Nashville goal line.
“I was just trying to get the puck into the neutral zone, so it was the luckiest score ever,” Ovechkin said.
- Yahoo! Sports
Regardless of whether it was shot in on purpose or simply pure luck, Alexander Ovechkin looks like he will pass the 60 Goal mark in the next few games.
Doing so will make him the first person to do so in 12 years, no small feat and evidence that he truly is the best Scorer in the modern game.

Category: Tributes
Today we have 3 featured videos. The first is a tribute to Mickey Renaud who died at the young age of 19. Renaud was the captain of the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL and was drafted by the Calgary Flames as their 4th pick, 143rd overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. Our thoughts go out to Renaud’s family, friends and team mates. The second featured video takes us behind the scenes of an NHL hockey team while on the road. Hosted by Jeff K, this clip shows the hard working guys of the Dallas Stars Hockey Club as they go about their work on a Stars road trip to the Minnesota Wild. The third clip takes us back to the days when the word “foil” would bring images of long hair, broken glasses and fits of laughter. Watch as the infamous Hanson Brothers foil up before a game from the movie Slapshot.

Hockey Fight - Greg Amadio VS Paul Bissonnette
The fight was the same night as the one that Yabo was involved in in the other video. I made a remark about Bissonnette “crying over spilled milk.” That is because the fight started after Greg hit Bissonnette apparently in the face. At the next faceoff, they dropped the gloves and Paul was shut up for crying over it.
