Good, solid, quality 10
Gawd, I miss hockey. Here's TSN's top 10 by Ovie a year ago.
Ovechkin really matured last season, got more muscle and weight. He is the heaviest Caps player in the roster. He is heavier than Chris Pronger or Todd Bertuzzi.
He can now rock anybody (as if he couldn't do it before), even the bigger guys like Chara or Jagr.
Strength of Ovechkin
He can push you with his little pinky and you can end up with broken clavicle and a couple of ribs (Brian Campbell). He is as big and strong as ever. Unfortunately, and some of our readers would disagree, Ovie lost his explosiveness because of increased weight. Nevertheless he managed to score another 50 goals, got way ahead Crosby in assists, was second in the league in +/-.
Simply put, "he's unbelievable" and the hockey players know it, that's why he was chosen by them as the most outstanding, I repeat, most outstanding player on the planet Earth.
I wonder what kind of Ovechkin we'll see next season... That's gonna be interesting...

@TJ: thanks for another Ovie video. I miss hockey too, a lot.
Yes Ovie got bigger last season but he was also suspended (unfairly IMO). I noticed a definite change in his style of play in the second half of the season. Maybe it was a combination of the Olympics letdown plus playing a bit more tentatively to avoid another hit by the NHL office, but Ovie did change. It will be interesting to see how he plays next season.
Thanks TJ, Ovis hit on Jagr is my favorit clip, almost better than chocolate ;-)
I think this season will be better, specially without the Olympics screwing everything up. Hopefully Ovi gets a lot of rest and destressing done during the off-season. Can't wait for October 8.
