Ovechkin's Game 3 Winning Goal

Alex Ovechkin scores the game-winning goal to put Washington up 2-1 in their second round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

[@ChrisG87]

I know a lot of Washington fans will say that Kuznetzov's Game 6 OTGWG is the most important goal in Capitals history, but for me, I say this - THIS - is the most important goal in franchise history. They don’t win this game, I’m not so sure they win the series. They needed to steal one in Pittsburgh, just like this, to keep the series competitive. I know Washington was the higher seed, but when it comes to these two, that means next to nothing. As a Lightning fan who supports the Capitals (born in Tampa, stationed in DC), this was a truly special team who I'm glad won the Cup. I hope they can do it again someday. 🏒🇺🇸

[@Emper0rH0rde]

Agreed. After dropping game 1, losing this game would have been disastrous, as they would have been in a 3-1 hole, yet again, bringing the series back to Washington. Being able to get out of Pittsburgh with the series tied was *key.*

[@jonnysnipes3123]

these two teams remind me of the bills and chiefs. itll take buffalo like 6 match ups before they finally get past the chiefs to win their first superbowl. washington had to take the same route to win the cup, pittsburgh was always in their way

[@jeffkravitz7105]

I'd agree but if not for Lars Eller's OT goal in game 3 vs Columbus they don't even make it to the 2nd round.

Awesome war face celly. Ovie looked like he was about to kill someone.

THAT'S MY CAPTAIN

[@vernieistooold]

Ovechkin had to hit the puck in mid-air....really good hand to eye coordination.

[@user-co1gi7yd2r]

Joseph Laraia thats why they are in nhl

[@alexgertz827]

i think it best ovechkin goal, becouse you need have very sharp reaction to hit the puck on that speed

[@maxscherzer9521]

a la Crosby

I like the penguin fan flipping him off, it made me laugh

great goal by my favorite player...and great pass by Backstrom!

Yah Pittsburgh fans are pussy's

[@surudog4929]

Great goal and Ovi just stuck the knife into the penguins fans with that goal. Ovi is the GOAT.

[@joesnare]

Best goal of the series!!! #ALLCAPS

[@hockeyfanatic6630]

Butt hurt Penguins fans giving him the finger, GOLD!!! About freakin time you guys don't win. That's what you get for giving him flack all these years.

[@urbanpioneer8148]

Do you share the same sentiments when people in Philadelphia do it to him? Or is it just Penguins fans?

[@roccovb5377]

Penguins fans are just a special kind of stupid lol.

[@Happy_guy123]

@@urbanpioneer8148 Pens fans have their own special category.

[@theburnetts]

Gotta love Letang whacking Ovi after the goal. Pure class. All I ever hear from Pittsburgh fans is how classy their players and organization is and how they never take cheap shots. I know it wasn't much of a shot. Ovi probably didn't even feel it. But if it was reversed and someone like Carlson whacked a Pittsburgh player after a goal all we would hear is how dirty the Caps are. LOL

[@sabrinastallard7635]

Such maturity from the pens fans.

yeah it was but that shit happened to the Preds this year against VGK twice and i remember that happening to the caps in past years. its just part of the game if it happens it happens

[@derekdigiovanni6921]

Debatable...

[@kybernetic8]

Oshie got a blatant slew foot committed against him, no penalty. Yet he suffered a concussion and missed 11 games. This was mild compared to what Oshie suffered.

[@urbanpioneer8148]

@@kybernetic8 the same TJ Oshie who embellished to draw a five minute major on Evgeni Malkin?
