i dont like ovetchkin, last world juniors he was hit behind the net and stayed down 'injured' until the reff blew the wistle. on his next shift he was right back on the ice like nothing happened. those russians dive alot.

While it is very true that Ovechkin lacks some morale and decency, experts say he's the best player ever to come out of Russia. www.hockeysfuture.com calls him the most developped of all the prospects drafted the last two years. That's saying a lot, and it's for that reason that I chose him myself. Although Barker or Montoya wouldn't have been bad decisions either.

I'm gonna have to agree about Ovechkin... When I saw that at the Juniors, I lost all respect for him. I was looking forward to watching him in the NHL and during those Juniors, then when he took that dive... it was like he needed a darn stretcher to get up... next play he's up like nothing happened... that isn't how the game should be played.

Yeah, I'm really excited for him. I mean they say he could be the best player to ever have come out of Russia, so that gets me goin'! I have no problem with Europeen hockey players because they bring more excitement to the game of hockey! That's just my opinion tho!

Sidney Crosby is way better than Ovechkin. Ovechkin deserves nothing after his pathetic performance at the 2003 World Juniors when he dived on the ice. When he was on the bench you could see him smiling and then he skates on the ice like nothing happened. I wished Jordin Tootoo would have creamed him. Oh well, maybe this year if Canada plays Russia in the playoffs Shea Webber, Dionne Phaneuf or Jeff Carter can put him in his place. This time he won't have to fake.

That's just my opinion tho! bring more exitment than canadian players? what their keen on is skating and stickwork. canadians build all around, we work on everythin, skating, stickwork, defense, the physical part, playing as a team. i know there r stars on team canada but they come together and play as a team. the russians sound like ovetchkins team, kinda reminds me of jagr and his puckhoging skills.

Firstly, I'd like to point out to Herman that Jordan Tootoo SUCKS. He's not a hockey player he's a goon. Bob Probert and Tie Domi atleast bring something to their game, all Tootoo does is run people. I don't care if he's Canadian to me his game is disgraceful. Secondly, just because Ovechkin took a dive doesn't change the fact that he's a tremendously phenomenal athlete and will live up to all this potential. If you want to rip into someone for being a pansy, why not go any futher than a Canadian hockey player in Mike Ribeiro. Now you have no defense in saying that a Canadian has never done that! ;D

Exactly! I mean most people shrug it off cause he's Canadian but if someone else from another country does it all of a sudden they're divers, commies etc. That's totally not fair. And big deal on that swan dive... Was a penalty called? Nope. Did it change the outcome of the game? Nope. So who cares? Can't wait till he's lighting it up for the Capitals!
