This account was a recent sports story from the Washington Post website. The Washington Capitals star left winger Alexander Ovechkin has scored three points in each of the first three season games for the Caps. "Thank God, I've had a little bit luck," Ovechkin said. "And when I score goals, guys give me nice assists."
The story is noteworthy because he is the first player in 27 years to achieve this. If Ovechkin does it again in the fourth game of the season, he will be the first player to do it ever. The team says he is getting better every year, this being his fifth professional season, and thinks he can score more than 70 goals this season.
Last October, Ovechkin did not have the same success, due to him worrying about his ill grandfather, but now he says, "My mind was not about hockey. My mind was about my grandpa, my mind was in Moscow. But right now I just concentrate on my game. I have more time than every forward; I have to use these chances. If I have that kind of trust and respect, I have to use it."
This was a normal online article, no video. It would have been a better article if it did involve video of the at least one of the three goals scored by Ovechkin, if not all three. It was written because people care about the Washington Capitals in the Washington D.C. area. They are finally a good team, and are Stanley Cup hopefuls.
