Ovechkin Wins Eighth Career Rocket Richard Trophy

[newfy]

How can he not be a Top 5 forward all-time?

I mean, career wise he can pass Lemieux and Howe. And in terms of dominance it really is only Gretzky that's ahead.

Lets not get crazy. Hes not catching Howe or Lemieux and there were more players than just Gretzky who were better in terms of dominance

That is not remotely accurate.

Regardless a high percentage of his goals comes from that spot and teams still can't defend him.

Ovechkin would be a better player if he made scoring look HARDER.

Well, as he is getting older and inevitably slower, the detractors will get their wish. Then the criticism will change to "Ovechkin is scoring a lot of garbage goals." Which of course he will - by parking himself in front of the net, and pushing the defenders out of the way. Ovie may be getting older, but he ain't getting smaller.
