Alexander Ovechkin is the best player in hockey and dominates his sport in a way that only Lebron James and Tiger Woods can relate. He may not be the prettiest guy to look at but the Ruskie has charisma, grit, and the ability to score no matter where he is on the ice. It's hard for me to say these things too when I'm a total homer for fellow Russian and current Atlanta Thrasher Ilya Kovalchuk. What I like most about Ovechkin is he doesn't give a shit. He plays his game, he throws his body around and scores hat tricks in the playoffs that almost brings the Verizon Center roof crumbling down because the crowd has Ovie Mania!
And oh yeah, he joins in singing "You Suck!" with the crowd...
How can you not root for a guy like that?
Just take a look at Capitals Reporter Lisa Hillary's reaction when she thinks she sees Ovechkin...
Sorry Lisa, that ain't no rat. It's the guy who could bring a Cup to D.C.
