Beverage Company Budweiser Memorial Alex Ovechkin The record-breaking 895th goal was a gift to the NHL goalkeepers who have never been victims of the “Great 8” throughout their careers.

The marketing campaign has received widespread attention on social media, with several online people receiving memorial cans called “Zero of 895”.

A total of 28 goalkeepers received their memorial cans and they recognized their efforts to stop Alex Ovechkin from adding more goals to their career roster. Message sent to the recipient has been read:

“The greatest goal rate ever won’t be scoring on these Zero Kings.”

Although Ovechkin has suffered 183 goalkeepers throughout his career, many others have not become the greatest goal-scoring prey ever. However, it is not clear how or why Budweiser chose the goalkeeper.

The most noteworthy one is Curtis Joseph. “Cujo” stopped two shots of the “Great 8” in a 2007 game between the Washington Capitals and the Toronto Maple Leafs. This feat won him a special edition Budweiser.

Here is a look:

Joseph joined other goalkeepers such as Michal Neuvirth, Mike Condon, Manny Legace, Mathieu Garon, Jocelyn Thibault and Jeff Zatkoff.

The NHL Alumni Association caught some of the reactions from honorary goalkeepers like Mike Condon. Conton acknowledged this honor and gave congratulations to #8:

Likewise, Manny Legace thanked Ovechkin for “putting it on me.” Here is a look:

With Alex Ovechkin still having a strong performance, there is no mention of how many goals he can score before finishing the game. Meanwhile, Target #900 is imminent.
