I've been following the team for near 25 years. And of course, followed all of Alex Ovechkin's career. I've seen prett much all of his over 400 goals (via highlights, I don't watch every game). And this one, presented in GIF form by the superb blog Russian Machine Never Breaks is up there. The hand-eye coordination is what makes it for me. Watch as Ovi juggles a puck in mid-air, from behind the net, to put it in the goal .
The reverse angle is just as good. It also started the Caps on their way to a 5-0 win.
And in cause you were wondering what my favorite Alex Ovechkin goal ever is, it's this one (at the 30 second mark).
