Me too. Though if I wore that on the ice, I'm sure I would take a lot of crap for it.

Oh well, it's still so cool. ;)

I will honestly be going out ASAP and buying one whenever I can find it. It looks intimidating as hell and I think it would throw goalies for a loop, especially on a breakaway.

Eric Weinrich wears a yellow tinted visor. Rick Nash had a red one I believe (end of season I think). Why can't Ovechkin wear a "glossy" one. If the NHL bans it, it'd be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. And really, the goalie shouldn't be looking at the player's face anyway........

As a hockey fan I don't really care, but if he's going to wear that in the NHL, he'd better back it up.

I hate that mentlity in the NHL...that if you are different you better be able to back it up. Id love to see some showboating/amazing skill without the veterans getting riled up....the NHL lacks creativity and FLOW....

thats what i hate about whats his face from the flyers that use to be on the flyers whining about getting a 30k signing bonus...some of this **** is just dumb....

if Ovo wants to wear that visor so be it. Why would he have to prove himself for wanting to be different? Federov wore one for a while didnt he?

Well I'd say 99% of the people on these boards believes he wears the visor because it makes him look cool. You know as much I and everyone else here that the visor is primarily used for "coolness". Fedorov wore a tinted visor. I agree I hate the mentality, but I don't want to see some hot shot rookie come in and act like he's played in it for 15 years. This is NOT the NBA. I'm sure Ovechkin isn't the first NHL player that wanted to wear that cool visor.

I think the NHL is the is the best when it comes to having to prove yourself and earn the respect of the people that came before you followed by the NFL in a close second. I don't care if he wears it in the NHL, but as long as he's producing.

Very good respond....the exact point im trying to spill.....

If he wears it to look cool than thats fine with me as long as he is backing it up with his play...what I dont want to see is like some modern day goon clutch him and hold big and drag him an cheap shot him because of his visor.

I dont think he wears it to look cool I personally think he wears it to confuse defenders. I dont know ive never talked to the kid. Maybe hes just trying something new, I can only speculate. But hell, I want one. I think they look bad ass, if they confuse a few opponents, thats a plus
