After a nervous few game wait Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Captials has finally reached the 700 goal club.
There are only eight players in total to have reached this milestone.
He reached 700 goals in the second fastest time (or second fewest games) bettered by only "The great one" Wayne Gretzky."
Alex went from 600 to 700 goals in only 154 games, the fastest of any player.
Now talk is about whether the greatest pure goal scorer the nhl has ever seen will reach 895 goals to claim the title of most goals ever.
I don't think so as he's getting close to 35 years old, but his stats just seem to improve every year.
He's a machine and often features on the website RMNB "Russian machine never breaks."
The guy is a wonder to watch, even if he stands in the one spot and fires them in....everyone knows, but no one can stop them. lol
