Ovechkin is without a doubt the most exciting and offensively talented player in the NHL at this point. As "The Puck Stops Here" author Joe Romano pointed out this morning as well as last week, Sidney Crosby can no longer be mentioned in the same breath as 'Alex the Great'.
In a sport that is still starved for additional television and mainstream exposure, Ovechkin's intensity and personality he wears on his sleeve every night cannot be matched in professional sports, in my opinion. In fact, last night's goal wasn't even close to Ovechkin's best goal in his short career. In case you don't remember, check out what I feel is possibly the greatest goal of all time:
What's really scary is when 'Ovie' is an old grizzled 38-year old ready to hang up the skates, will last night's goal even be mentioned in the top plays of his career? Something tells me he's only just begun...
