GOALS OF THE YEAR: OVIE!!!!!!!1 (AGAIN) (2/18/2009)

I don't even know what to say any more, because this guy is ridiculous.

Yes, it's OVIE! scoring his Earth-leading 42nd goal vs. Jesus Price and the Habs on Jeffuary 18, 2009, which just might be the Goal of the Year.



He makes a great backhand pass off the boards to himself while spinning around to start the breakaway, and after being pulled down as he skates towards the crease, while sliding on his right side he somehow guides it in. "Unstoppable!" Indeed.

Okay, that's it, I'm dusting off my skates and playing some hockey again. (I'm not saying that I'd even be able to skate at all, but watching this guy makes me want to try.)

I'm going to go ahead and say we can stop the GOtY competition right now...who's gonna out do that? Seriously...from the fact that he set himself up with an indoor soccer move (really, who does that in hockey?) to the penalty and the suck it, Carey finish...

There's really only one person who can score a better goal than that this year...his name is Ovechkin, of course.
