Everyone from Teemu Selanne to Bryce Harper has weighed in on Alex Ovechkin reaching the 500-goal milestone on Sunday night. In his own reaction, Leafs vlogger and Sportsnet contributor Steve Dangle helped put Ovi’s accomplishment into perspective — in his trademark off-the-wall style.

Much like the New Horizons spacecraft, one of our RMNB t-shirts recently traveled to a whole new world thanks to super famous Leafs blogger/Sportsnet contributor Steve Dangle.
See if you can spot it.
Steve Dangle of Sportsnet (yeah, of Sportsnet; didn’t you hear? Bloggers be gettin’ paid) is cutting fun video recaps of every playoff series. On Tuesday he cut one for the Caps-Isles series, which everyone knew would go seven games. While Steve is a dedicated Toronto fan (and I’m using “fan” as a polite euphemism for basically Robert Deniro as Curly Renard in the movie The Fan), he had nothing but nice things to say about the series.

It was only a year ago when insane Canadian person Marty McSorly went on to SportsNet and said Alex Ovechkin was all hype. Let me quote him: “I do not think this is an example that the young kids need to watch.”
It brings me great joy to bring you the below video. Leafs video blogger/awesome person Steve Dangle just published the opposite take. Dangle explains why Ovechkin is one of the most underappreciated players in the NHL and is likely to be one of the greatest goal scorers of all-time. He does this all using remedial math.
Really, just watch.
