Nic Dowd has had a rinkside seat to Alex Ovechkin’s incredible season, which, after a third straight game with a goal Wednesday in Carolina, has Ovi on the precipice of a 14th 40-goal season and two goals away from tying Wayne Gretzky for the all-time record.
Dowd was a little groggy Thursday morning as he made his weekly visit to The Junkies, after getting in very late from the back-to-back road games, but you could still hear the enthusiasm about Ovi being this close to history in his voice - even if maybe it's getting a little tiring being asked about it for some?
He’s not getting down about things, either, but what really impresses Dowd the most is…well, take it from him:
“I’d always be happy, too, if I had 890-something rips!”
Take a listen to Dowd's entire weekly visit with The Junkies above!
