At one point, a North American prospect (who'll remain nameless) was about to lose his lunch after struggling in the VO2-stationary bike test. Ovechkin was walking by him and said in perfect, unaccented English: "Way to go. Really good." The poor, weary kid looked puzzled and might well have been thinking that crimson-clad Ovechkin was with the Red Cross.

That's not what the article implied, hence they used the word "brash" to describe Ovechkin.Russian Fan said:It was probably perceive very wrong the way it was written. IF you read the article entirely , it's to show that Ovechkin is all about team work & was sincerely saying a positive thing to the guy.

That the article portrayed Ovechkin unflatteringly. Remember?EroCaps said:What's your point?
Maybe. I certainly haven't said otherwise.Maybe the article interpreted it wrong, it IS very mis-interpretable (is that even a word)...Personally I think he was just saying something positive to the guy and he's all about team work and positive thoughts.
