Ovechkin now 36-years-old looks like he hasn't lost a step. Last season in 77 games he scored 50 goals and 40 assists. Despite Ovechkin scoring 50 goals this past season, NHL.com Hockey Insider and Head Writer Dan Rosen made the very bold prediction that Alex Ovechkin will NEVER score 50 goals again.
That's not a bet I'd be willing to take as Ovi has scored 50 goals or more in 9 of his 17 NHL seasons. Don't be surprised to see Ovi score 50 this season just to prove Mr. Rosen wrong.
