I was there, and it was even funnier than it sounds.

Found it interesting how quickly this topic was locked 4-5 years ago. Since then Ovechkin has scored 226 goals. If he scores another 226 from now until he retires, that brings him to 879 career goals:
Will Ovechkin catch Gretzky in career goals?
In my NHL 19 career mode, he retired at age 43 with 1070. So there's that.
And that was all simming!
This discussion arised lately, last 1-2 years, and I mean from the media. Canadian media!.
They wrote him off after the 33 goal season. He came back from the dead and won a cup and then upped his game again. I think there are some Canadian hockey media that are totally gobsmacked by it
A lot of these writers grudgingly had to give him his due but make no mistake, deep down they still hate him.
I welcome their hate. Embrace it. And FWIW, I doubt it was just the Canadian media that wrote him off after a few mediocre seasons.
Hell, some of our own posters here were doing it.
I personally wrote off his playoff leadership but he sure proved me wrong, and I'm ecstatic about that.
I definitely felt at my lowest moment like he would never Captain a winner. We’re human after all.
I think it's an older demographic thing, most people under 60 are fans, I follow 2 Pittsburgh based hockey writers and this is the pinned tweet for 1A lot of these writers grudgingly had to give him his due but make no mistake, deep down they still hate him.

Holy crap this is awesome. Wish I'd known this in 2016, I'd have spared some crapping on Ovi in 2017
I doubt it..still think he will go back to Moscow and play for Dynamo to end his career..after his current contract is over.In my NHL 19 career mode, he retired at age 43 with 1070. So there's that.
