What shocks me about Ovie is he has scored so many goals from the same spot. He barely moves. Why teams don't key on that is a mystery. You know they are trying to set him up from that spot.

Same reason Drai scores half his goals from the same spot.
|
But Drai moves around some. Sure he has his "Spot" but he doesn't just stand there like Ovie does. You will see Drai in the corners, at the point sometimes as he moves around and then maybe settles into an area. Does Ovie move 10 ft one way or the other once he is in the zone?

CrusaderPi already explained it.
Ovechkin does move around somewhat. He's not stationary there, and it's not like his shooting spot is a 2x2 square. He has a great shot and can beat goalies from almost everywhere, but what makes him really lethal is that if you dedicate yourself to trying to stop him scoring from that spot, you're giving the rest of his team a chance to beat you 5v4. The Caps have consistently had other options who can also score - from Mike Green and Brooks Laich to Alexander Semin to Nicklas Backstrom to TJ Oshie to Evgeny Kuznetsov and now apparently to Ryan Strome. Because OV has a deadly accurate shot and a quick release, he just needs the puck in his wheelhouse and it's immediately on net.
In the did-you-know category, he's already the greatest PP goal scorer of all-time. He's got 290 now, 16 more than Dave Andreychuk and a full 86 more than Gretzky scored. Gretzky is 17th in PPG, so definitely was more a set-up man on the man-advantage. He had 686 assists on the man advantage almost 100 more than 2nd place.
