I remember when he came into the league, he was basically solo carrying himself every night. However him bitching and crying to the refs and other players made me not like him, although he matured throughout his career and got rid of that reputation. When Ovechkin entered the league next season, holy fuck he was soo insane. He was basically more explosive on skates than mackinnon rn, and hit like a fucking truck, scored whenever he felt like it. I Still remember that goal on his back against the yotes like yesterday :rofl:
Ovechkin's playstyle was just incredible. I prefer it as well. Crosby got the nod for me because he is a center but it was a tough choice.
Two generational talents entering the league at the same time. Very spoiled fans during that era.
