Born: September 17, 1985
Maybe one of the greatest hockey players I have ever had a chance to watch. Even if you don't like hockey you'll find this guy captivating. Many will argue that Crosby should be above him, which I understand, but I can't do it since Crosby is a whiny bitch, and Ovechkin is the single most exciting player I have ever seen in person (Yes I bet Orr was more exciting).
This guy has been a phenom since he was a kid. People forget he is only 23 years old!!! And yet he has...
-Made the All-Star team every year since 2006
- Won Rookie of the Year 2006
-Player of the Year 2008 and 2009
-Won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy 2008 and 2009
-Art Ross Trophy (2008)
-Kharlamov Trophy 2006-2009
-First player to win the Art Ross Trophy, Maurice Richard Trophy, Lester B. Pearson Award and Hart Memorial Trophy as well as win all four in a single season
-Most goals scored by a left-winger in a season (2007–08) – 65 goals
-Most points scored by a left-wing rookie (2005–06) – 106 points
On top of all that he holds just above every record for the Capitals AT AGE 23!!!! He is simply amazing. What is even cooler is that Crosby and him have been playing against each other since they were kids in the Juniors Championships, and look to be 2 of the best hockey players in the NHL for the next 15 years....
