Alexander the Great's Great Goal

If you missed Alexander Ovechkin's goal on Monday night, you missed one of the best goals scored all year. After beating a Phoenix Coyotes defenseman and while rolling on his back, Ovechkin somehow managed to still shoot the puck and beat Brian Boucher. The link to the video is here.

Wayne Gretzky, who was behind the Coyotes' bench and himself has scored his share of great goals, was just as impressed:
"That was pretty sweet. You know, he's a phenomenal player, and he's been a tremendous influence in the game. It's great to see, because he is that good."
Eric McErlain of Off-Wing Opinion and Washington Capitals' blogs Japer's Rink and Puckhead's Thoughts have more on the goal.
