On this day in 2006, Alex Ovechkin scored ‘The Goal’
On January 16th, 2006, Alex Ovechkin scored what is still his most memorable goal to date.
While falling and twirling around on his back, Ovi took a “simply sensational” shot to beat Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Brian Boucher. The goal also happened in front of Wayne Gretzky, who was the Coyotes coach at the time and is the man Ovi is currently chasing for the all-time goals record.
