Ovechkin Is A Badass

Alex Ovechkin has been taking a lot of shit for his celebration after scoring his 50th goal of the season. Here is what he had to say to the media...

"It's a big number, I think for everybody. If I get it, why [can't I] celebrate? If you win the lottery -- a million dollars -- you go to the bar and drink a lot," the Washington Capitals star said. "I scored 50 goals and I just celebrated (ESPN)."

Damn right, and he took every question from the media. Listen in almost very sport there is celebrating. God forbid someone in hockey actually acts like a kid who is enjoying himself.

"It's good for the league, it's good for our fans," Ovechkin said. "Some players are just like robots. They score goals and it's like, OK, no emotion, nothing. They basically go, 'OK.' You have to show emotion if you're an emotional guy. Show it. You don't have to think about it if somebody doesn't like it. I don't care about it if somebody [doesn't] like it. I play myself, I enjoy my life, I've enjoyed my whole career. If somebody [doesn't] like it, don't watch my game, don't watch what I'm doing on the ice (ESPN)."

He is 100% right. He is the most exciting player to watch in the NHL. I am glad he is doing this and bringing more attention to the sport. Good for you Ovechkin, you're a badass in my book.

In case you didn't see his celebration here it is...
