Player Discussion Alexander Ovechkin (Vol. 2)

[Alexander the Gr8]

I guess you dont know your Brett Hull history. Brett Hull was actually born in Canada and has duel citizenship. The only reason he ever played international hockey for US was because he was passed over by Canada in 1986 to play in the IIHL world hockey championships. When Canada didnt invite him USA hockey gave him a call.

My apologies.

Same thing happened with Della Donne with US/I think Australia, Russia might be more proactive with lil Ovy.

 

[Fantomas]

Decent year for Ovie IMO.

lmao yeah. I'd love to have a year like this.

 

[Khomutov]

Peak Ovie.

 

[kicksavedave]

Peak Ovie.

Sooo good. He really is the best goal scorer, I think, ever!

Hope he wins a Stanley Cup someday

 

[tycoonheart]

Peak Ovie.

So glad we have a cup with him as the captain .

It makes these highlights that much better.

 

[Raikkonen]

With all Washington-Moscow and USA-Russia connections Ovi provides this story will be absolutely unique in our lifetime I guess.

Crosby connection and all those 40 years of pain only add more awesomeness.

Epic. GOAT. One of the kind.

Now get one more...

 

[Sam Spade]

Ovechkin is basically a god at this point. He actually looks like he wants to hurt someone for almost hitting his wife.

 

[tycoonheart]

Is it just me or does he look a lot slimmer?

 

[artilector]

To me, this is the original gold standard of Ovi highlights, poor quality and everything:



Hell of a song choice, too, especially looking backwards now...

I agree man this video is classic. Love the fact that it includes some of the plays that did not result in goals.

Anybody good with video editing on here that can make this one into better quality?

 

[animositynow]

that dream on video was the best ovie video ever made. made after his rookie season. i must have watched it 1 million times in 2006

 

[IafrateOvie34]

A summer full of win for Ovy. Time to tank in 18 years. It's been a blast watching him all these years.

Go Caps!

you think he's got a bad cup hangover?

 

[Sam Spade]

you think he's got a bad cup hangover?

Only for Alex Ovechkin would this be considered a “bad” season.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I wore this one out

I used to ask what it was like to watch Howe, Bobby Hull, and others play in their prime. Now I know how those elders felt .

It certainly fulfills the word meaning of intensity. It seemed like every shot would be a goal.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’m hoping we see a more dedicated Ovy each summer now....

 

[Sam Spade]

I am impressed with the dedication Ovechkin showed in training this off-season considering all the things that happened to him this season but honestly I wouldn't have cared if he came in looking like Big Buff.

As far I am concerned he can do whatever he wants for the rest of his career. He's earned it for carrying a franchise for the last 13 years.

 

[Ovechclutch]

what numbers do you cats think OV will put up this year?

80 games 52 goals 32 assists
