Congratulations to Ovi for being only the third person to hit 800 goals in his hockey career. He did it tonight and threw in a hat trick making him the number 29th person to achieve as many hat tricks as he has.
He's a once in a generation player and he's the captain of my favorite team.

I've gotta get back into hockey; there's just too many teams. 800 goals is a great accomplishment.

Ovechkin actually now has 29 hat tricks in his career, which ranks him 6th on the all-time NHL list (trailing Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Mike Bossy, Brett Hull and Phil Esposito). Until last night, Ovi had been tied with Marcel Dionne and Bobby Hull with 28 career hat tricks.

Thanks for clarifying! I hope to be at the game when he surpasses Gordie's scoring record (801).

In other words, Ovechkin is a cunt.

And yet, he just broke Gordie Howe's record and now stands at 803, heading towards Wayne's record.
The hits pucks for a living and has weathered decades of scrutiny about his loyalty to many things Russian.
Because, at least for me, while it is intellectually possible to distinguish between Ovechkin the hockey player and Ovechkin the political commentator, it is a leap too far to do so on an emotional basis
Of course Larry can't like Ov, he's a New Yorker pandering to Ranger and Islander fans. These are some of the worse rivalries in the Atlantic Division.
It's certainly not worse than the sexual abuse that comes out of Michigan's college programs.

The state that saw Jerry Sandusky and said “Hold my beer! Don’t hog all the sex abuse scandals! We need some too!”.

There are plenty of athletes I dislike and root against because of the team they play for, school they went to, comments they make, etc. But there are a very few that crossed the line and I find truly deplorable. Michael Vick. DeShawn Watson. Alex Ovechkin.

Naming your Football building after a rape enabler? Keeping the statue up in his honor?

So Ov is looking pretty good, not raping or enabling rapists.
Larry is just pissed that we shut out the Rangers last night.

I do not disagree with you, Rate. I think Lou Anna Simon belongs in prison. But I was just trying to stick with the topic of sports personalities and she really doesn't qualify. Mark Hollis, the AD might qualify.
However, Bo Schembechler definitely does, and he is still being celebrated by the University.

Yep, you're right! He didn't rape anybody or kill dogs. He just celebrates a despot who promotes genocide.
