Washington Capitals: 2015 Was A Year To Remember

Alex Ovechkin hits 50 goals for the sixth time

Alex Ovechkin had another great year in 2015, winning his fifth Rocket Richard Trophy for most goals in the NHL while hitting 50 goals for the sixth time in his career. It was yet another dominant year for the greatest goal scorer of his generation.

Ovechkin transformed into a complete player in his first year under Barry Trotz. Trotz has even gone as far as to admit that his initial opinions of The Great Eight were incorrect, and that the Capitals captain has his full trust.

Ovi is visibly a more complete player, clearly dedicating himself more to defensive play than ever before in his career. He has completely bought in to Trotz’s system, and so did the entire team in 2015.

2015 was more of the same for Ovechkin – just doing what he does best, scoring goals better than anyone else in the world.
