Ovechkin's goal was a beauty BUT the hype that it is one of the greatest goals in history is ridiculous - he beat exactly ONE defenseman on that play and it wasn't all that great a move - the wild swipe he took at the puck while sliding prone on the ice was great instinct but it was a flukey type thing and the goalie should have stopped it. great highlight material but not one of the 10 greatest goals ever.

Go find some video footage of Bobby Orr and Gilbert Perrault - both these guys in their prime would routinely take the puck from their own goal line and beat 3 and 4 players before finishing off goals that were pure art. Add in Dennis Savard.
