“Unbelievable Twist: How Alexander Ovechkin’s Miracle Goal Defied All Odds and Captivated Fans Worldwide”
Ovechkin, of course, continues to walk, and to skate, and to score, over and over again, for two decades and counting.
“He loves scoring goals so much,” Halpern says. “It’s almost like a drug addict, like he needs to score a goal. He needs the excitement of it. Everybody wants to score a goal. I really feel like Ovi needs to score a goal. He chases that every game. That’s his ultimate high.”
With Ovechkin in the lineup, the Capitals have flourished. Starting with the 2007-08 season, Washington has reached the playoffs 15 of 17 years, culminating with a Stanley Cup in 2018. The Caps have exited the playoffs in the first round of their five playoff appearances since then, but currently sit atop the Metropolitan division.
