According to Eddie Lack, it's time for another rule change.
Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin notched his 1,000th point on Wednesday, but it was his second goal of the game - for point No. 1,001 - scored in his usual textbook manner that the Carolina Hurricanes' netminder is up in arms about.
With the league already including a trapezoid where goalies can't play the puck, Lack suggests an "Ovizoid" where Ovechkin is not allowed to fire his famous one-timers.
Trapezoid was invented to slow down Brodeur's stick skills. I say we introduce an Ovizoid to slow down @ovi8!! 😂🏒🔥 #Ovech1Kin pic.twitter.com/Y4hJlhBnr6

The rule would certainly never come to light, but it would definitely have the support of fellow goalies around the league.
