Tonight, as the Washington Capitals played the Chicago Blackhawks we saw NHL history. Alex Ovechkin scoring not 1 but 2 goals officially tied Wayne Gretzky's all time goals record of 894. All Ovechkin needed was a hat trick to pass him for the record and with Chicago pulling their goalie with 2 minutes to go, Ovechkin had his chance. However, he wanted nothing to do with an empty net goal telling his head coach Carbery that he didn't want to be on the ice. This was a fantastic game and a fantastic night to be a hockey fan as we are truly witnessing a potentially once in a lifetime record being hit. I cover it all more in todays NHL hockey video!
