Have you ever thought about how lucky we are to be able to see Ovi play?

Alex Ovechkin is the hockey version of Kobe Bryant. A real monster on ice.

@ec_carnage:

“It was 2022, and the Washington Capitals rivals were still leaving Ovechkin alone in his office.

@brandongolden11:
“I wish I could be as good at something as Ovechkin is at one-touch shots.

@GMUHockeyScout:

– Leaving Ovechkin alone in front of the door should be illegal! But I’m even glad that’s not the case.

@AJBOSE:

– We live in the world of hockey Alexander Ovechkin – and this is a real privilege.

@nick_dece:

@hunterdz90:

“Ovi is the best athlete ever born on this planet.

@KathFF:

– In this world, only death, taxes and Alexander Ovechkin, remaining alone in the left circle, are inevitable.

@Ovibest:
– That’s what happens when you leave Ovechkin open on your island.

@WashPost:

– Alex Ovechkin has 9000 goals, and his opponents always leave him alone in the left circle.

@AleksTheBest:
“Perhaps the most impressive thing that’s happened to the Capitals since 2005 — with a thousand player and coaching changes in 17 years — is their ability to convince their opponents that Ovechkin doesn’t exist.

@FanNHL:
– 100% of the goalies could not take this puck.
