“Most jaw dropping goal in NHL history”

“for me these are his best career goal”

One fan remarked, “I’ve seen that replay a thousand times, so much that I said out loud: ‘Alexander Ovechkin, when it looked like it was no longer possible… he still got it done!’ at the same time. Definitely one of the most spectacular goals of all time. Never get tired of watching it!”

While, for other fans, it can be a marvelous goal but not the best one. They wrote,

“It’s in the Top Ten, but there is no question who scored ‘The Goal'”

” He has great skills, is a great player, but he is not even close to some of the best. He has a long way to go, and at his age he is never going to get there.”

Also, some think he was fortunate enough to score,

“half luck half skill but still the goat goal scorer”

“It’s crazy but too much luck involved. There are so many other more impressive goals that solely rely on skills”

“Cool goal with some luck. Result of not giving up on the play.”
