Hurricanes' Lack suggests introduction of 'Ovizoid' to slow down Ovechkin

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.
