Our Video Of Day features who else but Alex Ovechkin. In a losing effort, Alexander The Great scored one of the most ridiculous insane goals you’ll ever see. That it came in Game 2 cutting the Caps’ deficit to 3-2 and against the Rangers top tandem of Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi while victimizing Henrik Lundqvist speaks volumes.

What Ovechkin did here was amazing. Using great acceleration and sheer strength, he split McDonagh and Girardi before having enough determination to get off a great shot that had unbelievable velocity on it to beat Lundqvist stunning the Garden. That kind of intensity and passion is what makes the Great 8 so lethal.

Thus far in the second round series, Ovechkin has two goals and an assist factoring in on three of the Caps’ four goals. That included a magnificent rush and release in Game 1 firing a laser by Lundqvist along with a great set up for Joel Ward’s stunning winner with 1.3 seconds left.

The series is all even headed back to Washington for a pivotal Game 3 Monday night at 7:30 PM. Fasten your seat belts.
