900!! It's here! It finally happened!

Now, Alex Ovechkin not only holds the record for all time highest goal-scorer in the the NHL, but also, is the first to ever reach 900 career goals. In 20 seasons and change, he's done what has never been done before, and some thought unattainable. Again.

The record and the celebration are well and good, but everything about this goal - these 10 seconds of "we were waiting for it and somehow we still never saw this coming" - are the real story.

The Goal

The goal itself was stunning.
