Great Eight on ESPN E:60 (video)
E:60’s Rachel Nichols has an all access pass inside the life of this megawatt hockey god who is equal parts everyman, equal parts rock star. In this revealing portrait, viewers see what makes Ovie run 100 miles per hour on and off the ice: his unabashed joy and enthusiasm, his love of fast cars, his simmering rivalry with the other name on the NHL’s marquee, Sidney Crosby, his hell bent for leather style of play that leaves defensemen swiveling their heads, and his burning desire to turn the nation’s capital into a hockey mad city.
The Great One himself, Wayne Gretzky, NBA star LeBron James, Caps owner Ted Leonsis and iconic hockey commentator Don Cherry are among the voices in the feature.

"Какой же русский не любит быстрой езды?" :)
"Which of Russians don't like fast driving?" It could be so boring time without Ovie!Thanks God,that Ovie isn't a ROBOT-there are so many "callous machines" in a world!
Ovi's robot comment was great! I wish the program hadn't tried to make things interesting by portraying Ovi as a "wild child". Alex seems very considerate, unlike some out-of-control and arrogant athletes. However, I wish he would drive responsibly in whatever country he is in. We want him to be around for a long time.
