OVERRATED
Is it just me or is NHL darling and Reebok pitchman Sidney Crosby just a really good player and not a superhuman, best of breed, sport transfer?
Maybe he's getting more pressure than praise.
Whatever is at work, I just expected more domination and must-see moments from the "Next One". His young, flashy Russian rivals seem to have cornered the market on that.
Sid the Kid - more hat than cattle so far.

“He’s amazing. There aren’t enough words in English or Russian to describe him.”
~Chris Drury
"He's like the shark in Jaws, circling in the water waiting for blood. They should play that music from the movie – da-duh, da-duh, da-duh - when he's out on a shift. He doesn't just go after loose pucks, he hunts them down."
~John Davidson, President of Hockey Operations for the St. Louis Blues.
Keep the faith, TJ, and keep up the good work.
Thank you, Alex Ovetjkin, for killing this ridiculous storyline with this post.

Blog o Alexovi, psaný anglicky, je vážně kvalitní a aktuální
Just wanted to thank you for posting my book on your blog, which I consulted a fair bit while researching and writing the book. In particular, the comprehensive list of links on alexovetjkin.blogspot.com is the best library on Ovechkin material available anywhere.
Regards,

hey, i was just wondering since you follow russian hockey and players more than i do, do you know if the russian players have a problem with malkin. i am just wondering this because i watched the pens v. rangers game, and malkin took a run at zherdev and then zherdev looked and returned the favor. the commentators even mentioned if the russian players have a problem with malkin.
i know he comes across nice in the very few english interviews he does. but i have read a few of his translated russian interviews and he definitely seems a bit more cocky and a-holey like. for example, someone asked him a question about alex, and he said while laughing "you mean alex the great"?
he just seems to have a bit of an attitude that i think the russian guys might know of, and that us Americans dont see because of his lack of communication.
just wondering if you knew anything further because i am curious. :)
You're on drugs if you think that Crosby is overrated. You seem to forget that the guy is 21.
