Quotes about Ovechkin:
~Caps GM George McPhee
~Gordie Howe
“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.

Thanks for posting this TJ.
Ovie is the Stradivarius among hockey players. Unique. Special. One of a kind. Priceless.
I love the Ovie as Mozart to Crosby as Salieri analogy too.
I also love the intro to the video which I've seen on other Ovie YouTube tributes. It's the part where he's walking down a hallway or corridor. The lighting and overall mood and atmosphere give Ovie an unearthly, god-like aura. It's an awesome effect. I wonder how and under what circumstances the sequence was filmed.
The best compilation I have seen so far. Thanks, TJ.
