Hey there! Can we just take a moment to appreciate what Alex Ovechkin is doing right now? The fact that he’s just 21 goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky’s all-time record is absolutely mind-blowing! I mean, Gretzky's records are often seen as untouchable, and here we have Ovi, at 39 years old, still lighting the lamp like it’s nobody’s business.

It’s incredible how he started the season on fire, scoring 15 goals in his first 18 games. That’s a pace that would have put him in the conversation for the best season of his career! And even after that injury setback, he’s still managed to keep the buzz alive. The excitement around his pursuit is palpable, and it’s not just fans who are feeling it; sportsbooks are all over it too, with betting lines reflecting the hype.

What’s even more impressive is how the Capitals have turned their season around. They were seen as underdogs, but now they’re leading the Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference! It’s a testament to Ovechkin’s leadership and skill. I can’t help but think that if he keeps this up, he might just break that record this season, and that would be a historic moment for the NHL.

What do you think? Are you rooting for Ovi to break the record this season?
