Fantastic, well done. Amazing how he has evolved. So much of his early game was simply bulling and weaving his way and creating on his own. But now, the set plays, and the wicked shot prevail. And either way, you just can't stop him.

For more then fifteen years Alex Ovechkin was listed as 188 cm (Euro) tall. Imagine my surprise to see 187 cm numbers on his eliteprospects page.

I have his age. Does it mean I am starting to get smaller too with every new year?

Really good! I like how it switches from goals to hits. Could also add a handful of his sick assists too, like the one to Kuzy in game 6

A lot of these writers grudgingly had to give him his due but make no mistake, deep down they still hate him.

Yep. The Canadian hockey media is still xenophobic and pompous. It's the ugly side of an otherwise peaceful and humble country.

If they’re Xenophobic it’s about anyone non-Canadian who offends them by being great at the game they perceive as “their own”....Americans, Russians, Finns, Swedes, etc....

Me, I get tired of this excuse being trotted out.

Yeah, it's crap.

It saddens me as a proud Canadian to see the hyper hockey nationalism. It's distasteful.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I actually think Ovechkin is pretty widely liked by the Canadian media these days. Except for that awful Damien Cox.

While there may be some truth to that I have always felt there was a special level of hate for Russians by the Canadian and old school North American hockey establishments dating back to the 1972 Summit Series when they learned someone else can play this game really well also.

Canadians dont hate any of those countries. Well maybe Americans but it has nothing to do with hockey.

Move along know it all. This is above your pay grade clearly.

This entire board is above your pay grade. Lol can't take a bit of ribbing I see.

I don’t disagree that Russia was once the biggest threat to Canada in the sport and that series probably started that long of Nationalist thinking about the sport.

I can take it fine. In fact I relish it.

I just feel like you’re at a severe disadvantage around here because your arrogance fools you into thinking you’re always debating from the high ground.

That's a clutch tube - great work.

I like that you focused on him just skating to open the video. Most every other tribute is goals goals goals hits. The proper requisite hoisting of the cup ending, is much appreciated.

If you got rid of like 0:10 to 1:05 between the 1st hit and 2nd hit and ditched the sound effects it would rank well among Ovechkin videos

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

#48 on the season and 655 for the career.

Also, his 246th career PPG which ties him with Esposito for 5th all time.

Time for some payback against New Jersey for not pulling their goaltender last year and giving Ovie a chance at #50.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Next up Shanahan at 13th all time with 656, then Robitaille at 668 next season. When he hits 685, he’s going to start knocking off top-10 guys every few goals....

Mark Messier, 694
Steve Yzerman, 692
Mario Lemieux, 690
Teemu Selanne, 684
Robitaille, 668

Legend. 700 by this time next year isn't out of the question.
