Ovechkin is close
washcaps: POST VIDEO: Ovechkin, Hendricks and Johansson on the OT loss to the Flyers
Alex skated really well vs. Flyers, scored a game tying goal, his 16th (just two ovechtricks away from Stamkos :), was very dynamic and his dribbling has been improved. Let's hope that Ovi will step up even more in the incoming games.
Update:
Hey, I am not alone, BB says that Alex did well "he is mixing up real well now" (starts @2:50):
Gee, I thought Alex went around the defense three times last night to the outside. I thought that he was as good as he's done. Braydon Coburn stopped him [only] once when he tried to cut to the middle. It's gonna happen and you gotta mixed it up. In the last game he beat Karlsson twice to the outside, it's [more] a question of keeping his balance when goes past these guys...

I was happy for DJ King, I'd give him the edge.
Alex Ovechkin comments on Eric Staal being named an All-Star Captain.
Ovi looks upbeat and jokes that he will be picked late in the first round of a draft.

Sorry if I don't share such an optimistic view of this game and the overall play of the Caps. I agree with what Peter said in his recap on RMNB:
"The Capitals got worked over by a superior team: it’s hard to spin it any other way. They played 40 seconds of gritty hockey in an hourlong game."
The Caps were lucky, very lucky, to escape Philly with a point. If they think they can get away with playing partial games in the playoffs, they will be in for a very rude awakening.
Oh wait, they've already been there, done that.
That was no goal.
@Anonymous,
I thought that too. But the Flyer defensemen hits it as the puck went into the net, therefore good goal.
Why you 'thought that too' if the Flyers d-man hit it? I don't get it. If the Flyers d-man wouldn't hit it, then you could think that it was no goal.
As soon as Toronto counted it in, it is counted in. Last year Ovi scored an awesome goal when he hit that tall fella and pushed the puck in, but it was not counted. Definitely could help Ovi in Maurice Richard trophy race last seaon.
I don't think the goal counted either. With all the replays, it looked like no stick, not even the defenseman's, touched it. However, with the 2-3 goals Ovie has had waived off that should have counted in the past two years, I call it a karmic correction.
