Two years ago I think people would have selected Sidney Crosby over Alexander Ovechkin. Now? Not even close. The passion with which Ovechkin plays hockey is infectious. And I think the people of Washington are beginning to realize how special of a player they have within there midst. This guy is going to be so awesome to watch during next year's Olympics.
Tonight's goal that he scored is AMAZING. I think I watched it about ten times. I defy you not to be amazed.

The fact that I had to blog about it right now, gives you an idea how good it has to be.
I put it ahead of the Phoenix simply because this was all skill; there was an element of luck in the other goal (although still freaking amazing).
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen that - unreal. I love how he says it's in his "Top Ten".

ReplyDeleteIsn't funny after a year or so, most people would take OvieWanKenobi over Sid the Kid?
