Ovechkin is a whole different breed of ugly. As I say, it's nodoby's fault, and hell, I actually really like the kid and his style of play...but c'mon, the boy is a goblin

Jason MacIsaac said:When I seen Ovehckin is Syndey at the WJC in 2003 there was something very special about the kid. I remember thinking that this kid hits like Peca, skates like Bure and scores like Bossy. It was amazing how fast a release he had. Ovehckin is going to be something scary. I have stayed out of the Crosby/Ovechkin debate for years on this site...I like Crosby and Ovechkin but Ovechkin is simple going to be the more complete player by the time the two fully develop. Fedorov seems like a fair comparison but Ovehckin has a physical game that Fedorov couldn't even match.
arrbez said:Ovetchkin will never be marketable because he is hideously ugly. It's nobody's fault, but certainly an unfortunate turn of events

Of course there is, you clown. He's Canadian & the media I presume you are referring to is Canadian.RallyKiller said:I don't care what "pro scouts" would do, they have been wrong many times over the years and I have formed an opinion on what i've seen, you cannot tell me there is NOT a media slant from the canadian side.

Props to Perry and his 3 goals.
NHL is not local league for russian media.Sammy said:I guess in Russia the media is in the habit of reporting on Sid the kid more than Ovy?
True.Mothra said:you could, get this, avoid this thread......
Really? So in Russia they wont be reporting on Ovechkin & his scoring exploits?Kaizer said:NHL is not local league for russian media.
Yep. Shocked ?Sammy said:Really?
Yes, again. They don't care about preseason while RSL is on the way.Sammy said:So in Russia they wont be reporting on Ovechkin & his scoring exploits? Interesting.
Strange, but I'll take your word for it. I know here in Canada we follow Canadians on the PGA tour even though there is a Canadian tour. I dunno, maybe its just a Canadian thing.Kaizer said:Yep. Shocked ?
Yes, again. They don't care about preseason while RSL is on the way.
Sammy said:True.
Or you & your type could stop acting like 3 year olds with all the whining.
True enough so I edited the post.Mothra said:you confuse me with another......please show me where I was whining about any of this.......
insults like this make you look like the juvenile
Mothra said:I have no reason to doubt you....just think its funny that after all that your avatar has a guy in a team canada uni
Golf is not popular in Russia, but Tennis for example is another story...Sammy said:Strange, but I'll take your word for it. I know here in Canada we follow Canadians on the PGA tour even though there is a Canadian tour. I dunno, maybe its just a Canadian thing
You know, during WHC or Olympics I can read tons of interviews with foreign coaches, players, former stars (foreign too) here ... but I couldn't find it not at TSN.ca, not at Canoe.ca, not Sportsnet.ca But may be I just remember things badSammy said:And during the World hockey championships or Olympics or whatever the Russian media gives players who are not Russian the same exposure that they accord to Russians?
He will dominate WBS and it's twice more than half of WBS in intrasquad game with 3 assists that turned into main page storyDrMoses said:Ovechkin has clearly established that if he does get sent down to the minors, he will dominate the Wilkes-Barrie team...
He is clearly a God...
Geez, I find that very odd that Russia media accords the same amount of exposure to foreign players/teams as they do to their own.Kaizer said:Golf is not popular in Russia, but Tennis for example is another story...

I didn't say word "same" in my post. You are putting your words into my mouthSammy said:Geez, I find that very odd that Russia media accords the same amount of exposure to foreign players/teams as they do to their own.
Maybe it has something to do with Russias horrendous play recently?
After Canada had sucked in Nagano did you feel less attention to the team ? Or did you feel less attention to WJC's last years ?Sammy said:Maybe it has something to do with Russias horrendous play recently?
Oh, so russian media does accord russian players more exposure than players from other countries? If thats true, thats just not right. That shouldnt happen,. Its not fair.Kaizer said:I didn't say word "same" in my post. You are putting your words into my mouth

Oh, & I think in Canada we probaby pay more attention to our players when they suck, not less.
Err... what ? Explain.Sammy said:Oh, so russian media does accord russian players more exposure than players from other countries? If thats true, thats just not right. That shouldnt happen,. Its not fair.
