50 Goals..

Dear Mr. Ovechkin,

There has been much debate about your Fiftieth Goal celebration on March 19th(personally I think you could of come up with something better; but that's neither here nor there):

Now I think that 50 goals is a nice accomplishment but it is not even top 50 list of all time. It is not even close to your achievement of 65 goals last season. I do not remember you doing anything last season when you broke the 50 goal mark? Did I miss that game(I have been known to be drunk from time to time and I could really of been bombed outta my tits and missed that)? Now I could see you celebrating when you break your own personal high of 65 goals but come on man keep the antics to yourself. You should of collected the puck and put it in your treasure trove of achievements. As my Daddy says " Act like you've been there before". Maybe that's how you get down in Russia but here in the NHL we celebrate as a team.
