Martin Brodeur doesn't like 'em.
Alex Ovechkin’s favorite visor is the mirrored visor he wore as a rookie that made him look like RoboCop

“Tinted visor is just my style,” Ovechkin said in a Hockey News Q&A in December 2005. “I only wear it for that reason.”
A year later, however, the mirrored visor was gone and Ovi wore the smoky visor that is featured in option 2. It was later revealed that Devils’ Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur complained that the visor gave Ovechkin a competitive advantage. Ovechkin was the only player who wore the mirrored visor at the time.
“I said it wasn’t right because my game is watching an athlete, and especially when it gets to a shootout, it makes it tougher for me if I can’t see his eyes,” Brodeur said to the Daily News.
