He’s the greatest goal scorer of his generation. If anyone debates that you need to end the conversation, because you’re talking into a black hole, your words go in and never come back out. There is only one hockey player in the world who you can pretty much guarantee will score at least forty goals every single season. It’s no secret, that man is Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin.
Since coming into the league in the 2005-06 NHL season Ovechkin has played thirteen full seasons. He’s hit the forty goal mark in ten of those seasons. He’s also hit the fifty goal mark in eight of those seasons.
