00:00Ovechkin had a hat trick in the Capitals win against Vegas and he now is tied for the NHL

00:12leading goal.

00:13He got 13 goals this year and more importantly for him, he is 30 goals, 29 goals away now,

00:19excuse me, from passing Wayne Gretzky as the all-time leader.

00:25I thought him, especially after how he played last year, I thought it would bleed into next

00:30year for him that he would get it because I knew he was going to play until he gets

00:33it.

00:34I mean, he's playing well enough this year that he might get it this year, to be quite

00:38honest with you, the rate that he's putting the pucks in the net.

00:41Guys, I gotta tell you, Carver, a lot of people like the under this year and I disagree with

00:46them.

00:47I go, this guy, and the one thing is Washington, he's going to get all the power play time,

00:51they're going to look for him all the time because of the record, he's feeling inspired,

00:56there's no reason to think he's going to quit.

00:57The guy's a machine.

00:58He gets an open look, it's going right through the goalies.

01:02Ovechkin's been one of the best snipers of all time and you know what, his teammates

01:05are going to get him there.

01:06So I'm shocked too, Carver, it's a lot of goals, but I don't see him slowing down.

01:12He certainly doesn't.

01:15And he is, the guy's a freak, he's just been unbelievable.
