The Washinton Capitals are going through a rough and challenging season. They currently find themselves in the middle of the Metro division standings. Following another disappointing loss to the Dallas Stars, fans are feeling the weight with some going to the extent of urging Capitals superstar and franchise player Alexander Ovechkin to retire.
It's really surprising to see Caps fans at a point where they are losing faith in their long-time leader who has been the face of the team for nearly two decades.
While Ovechkin has faced challenges in recent weeks scoring just 2 assists in the last 7 games and 5 goals in 22 games this season, he achieved a significant milestone of 1500 points in his NHL career.
As the Capitals struggles persist the question looms over whether Ovechkin can surpass Wayne Gretzky's goal record who many seem to think is untouchable.
