He's talented but I'd have to disagree having grown up watching guys like Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Messier.

talented? you could say that about every player in the league. Ovi hits, Gretzky and lemeiux were scoring machines that could not be stopped but you never saw them in too much danger, messier threw the body a lot more than both of them. Ovi can do it all, except fight. the guy does not get tired either.

There is a difference between getting tired and getting lazy.

point taken, but how far back was ovi skating from, or actually, tanking from haa haa? that was in the playoffs, I remember that play.

one demensional player. He is ALWAYS he last guy in the zone, never back checks. He is not a great player tho, great offensively, weak defensively puts him in the middle. If I paid the guy, he'd be a two way player. If he dodnt want ot be a two way player he'd get dealt. He's great to watch in the offensive zone, wish he'd work just as hard on both sides of the puck. Until decides to quit half assing it and start playing the 2-way gamehe'll never win the cup unless he is traded to a contender who would win it anyway....like Ray Bourque leaving Boston to Colorado. OVI is not a player I would build a team around,OVI thinks he IS the team and that is why Washington will never get over the hump with the guy unless they force him to play the two way but then Ovechkin will demand a trade.

How the fuck do you score 44 goals and be a -27? The animated gif says it all LOL

As Lutz said I have to agree. If he's not scoring goals he useless. He is a defensive liability and he never back checks.

and the penguins get to do whatever they want on the ice again. Crosby skates the puck in on a last ditch effort to tie the game, and two guys are offside, not one, and is there a whistle? of course not. and the pens nearly miss tying the game with 2 seconds left, almost pulled it off.

[Mudlark]

Those two highlights are great examples of his offensive wizardry.

25 goals....30 assists....40 PIMs....& played his 1300th NHL game last night....hoping the Bs resign him & he retires a Bruin someday....IGGGGYYYY!!

[Shawn Lutz]

Ovechkin a minus -31 now. How can a player look at that and not want to make it respectable?

I hope Iggy reaches 30 again Chuck...good pickup for you guys.

rangers are the heavy favorites to win it all right now after those brilliant deadline moves.
