The Chase for 60 Remains Alive and Well
6

 

Sidney who? Remember that guy named Alexander Ovechkin?  Remember how he was going to hit 60 goals on the season, but then hit a seven game scoring slump?  Well he's back.  After breaking that slump against Toronto on 3/1, Ovechkin netted a hat trick in the first period of the Bruins/Capitals game tonight.

 

Ovechkin becomes that fastest player to 50 goals in 10 years.  He currently has 52 goals with 15 games remaining.  The last time anyone in the NHL had 60 goals was 12 years ago when Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr both hit the mark.  This marks the second season in a row in which Ovechkin has scored 50 goals and may become the first time he scores 60.  Stay tuned the rest of the season, because this kid is amazing and brings so much energy every night- the best pure goal scorer in the National Hockey League.

Crosby will get you about 40 goals and 70 assists per year.  Ovechkin would rather shoot the puck himself.  That's the reason Crosby doesn't have as many goals.

I know, they're both the 2 best players in hockey, can't really argue that.  What makes me laugh though is how Crosby went down, and you'd think that would open up the door for Ovechkin to be the star by himself, but Malkin has the NHL points lead.

Malkin had to step up and be the #1 guy when Crosby got injured, and that's exactly what he did.  I just checked and you're right about the points lead, Malkin has 88, and that would give Ovechkin 90 as of right now.  It seems like they keep trading the lead back and forth depending on who's playing which night lol.
