NHL.COM:

As for Ovechkin, much of his story is yet to be written, but his impact on the modern-day NHL is undeniable. The captain of the Washington Capitals, a perennial All-Star, a Hart and Art Ross Trophy winner, Ovechkin is one of the most marketable players in the NHL and among the most recognizable faces of hockey in the world.

So, all and all, one could say that the Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty has done pretty well in choosing the stars to headline his charity fundraiser, The All-Star Charity Event, which will take place in Montreal on February 3.

The event -- which will benefit the Max Pacioretty Foundation, Montreal General Hospital and the Vladislav Tretiak Foundation -- was organized by Pacioretty and his wife Katia, the sister of another famous hockey Max, former Buffalo Sabre Maxim Afinogenov.

Once you achieve a superstar level, you are always a superstar. Deal with it, people.

Great Eight Superstar
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Great Eight Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

(Voice of Sidney Crosby)

Ev'ry time I look at you
I don't understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You'd have managed better
If you'd had it planned
Now why'd you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?

:-)
