Here's video of Eakin's milestone marker made possible by a sweet Alex Semin cross-ice pass.

When I was twenty, I was a college senior. A few months from getting my Visual Arts degree from UMBC, I had a 1998 Toyota Camry, and I got paid $7.50 an hour to work for the school’s newspaper.

At twenty-years-old Cody Eakin is in the NHL. He plays on the league’s best team. With his entry-level contract, he makes almost $1 million a year. And tonight, November 4th, 2011, he notched his first NHL point and his first NHL goal against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Someone should knock him down a peg.

Alex Ovechkin, immediately after tonight’s 5-1 victory, did exactly that.

As Eakin was finishing his final remarks with the media, the Capitals captain found an opening and caught the young rookie in the face with a blue shaving cream pie. Awesome.

But hey, that’s okay. Maybe Eakin will have a chance to retaliate 14 games from now… when Ovechkin plays his 500th NHL game. Because we all know Ovi can dish it, but can’t take it.
