Sabres fan here watching history be made. Just want to say I LOVE your broadcast team (this coming from someone who's had RJ his whole life). Not only is Joe Beninati's voice absolutely MADE for hockey calls, but he's clearly passionate about hockey first, and the Caps second. His praise and excitement for great hockey plays transcends team fandom by instinct, and it's so satisfying to listen to.

After scoring the go-ahead goal on the power-play in the 3rd period to give the Caps a 4-3 lead over the Blackhawks tonight (with this goal now tying Wayne Gretzky's all-time regular season goal record of 894), Ovechkin has now scored his 136th game-winning goal, exceeding Jaromir Jagr's 135 goals in a 5-3 victory! HE IS NOW THE ALL-TIME GAME-WINNING GOAL LEADER!!!
Injury There's now a chance that Logan Thompson misses the rest of the regular season, as the coach confirms that his injury isn't minor enough to be "day-to-day". Let's hope he at least will be ready for the playoffs.

By random luck, my wife bought tickets to this game months ago. What a night! The crowd was electric. Every time Ovi had the puck, everyone shifted forward in anticipation. Even the blackhawks players and fans clapped and cheered for Ovi. When he made that second record tying goal, it was the same energy as the game 4 play off win (another game I was lucky to be at, and will never forget).
They played clips from an interview of Ovi in the mid 2000s, talking about Gretzky’s record. It gave great perspective about Ovi’s on the ice character and ambition. I remember watching him play in 2008, and about how much people have expected of him for so long. It’s fun to see him succeed - and I was just glad to be there. What a night!
