He is. The Greatest. Of All Time. Goal scorers at least. Washington Capitals sniper/winger Alex Ovechkin defied father time and the history of the National Hockey League in scoring his career goal number 895, breaking what many thought was an unbreakable record held by "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky. This may finally be unbreakable, to average 45 goals for 20 years is just something hard to do, especially as physical as the game is in the 2020s and beyond. He broke the record on Sunday with a national audience tuned in, but overall, for the week he scored 5 goals in 4 games (scoring at least one in all four). He's actually scored a goal in 5 straight games and sits fourth in the league in goals despite missing five weeks due to a knee injury. The Soviet Superstar has gas left in the tank, and is a deserving Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
