WATCH: Ovi Hits 800...Greatest Goal Scorer Ever?
It's almost like when you've watched greatness for this long, you can kind of forget how special an athlete Alexander Ovechkin is.

We've been lucky enough to watch arguably the greatest goal scorer the game of hockey has ever known, and Ovi further cemented that sentiment with his 800th(!!!) goal on Tuesday night.

The Caps were on the road, but a hockey savvy crowd in Chicago made sure he felt the love.

As a general rule, I try not to criticize referees in any sport. You shouldn't talk shit on a job that you can't do, in my opinion. And you have to allow for human error, some sports fans dont, or won't do, a lot of the time. All of that to say, this referee is trash, this was incredibly dangerous, and hopefully he never gets anywhere near an MMA fight again. -
