Super Star Tuesday: Alexander Ovechkin

On this edition of Super Star Tuesday, I am featuring Alexander Ovechkin from our fierce division rival, the Washington Capitals.



Ovie is controversial and polarizing, but you can't deny his skill. He is also the subject of one of my favorite hockey commercials


And featured in my all time favorite hockey commercial:

I'm telling you after that commercial "chicken corndogs" was a joke for weeks.

He was also one of my favorite players featured on the kiss cam. I love a guy with a sense of humor that can laugh at himself!



We see quite a bit of Ovie as he is in our division, three times a season to be exact. Here he is with his shiny new "C."



Hanging out waiting for warm ups to get going.



There is a reason Ovie was smiling on the kiss cam, he is always watching our in-arena videos. I guess he finds them entertaining.



Or, maybe he's making sure there are no more of these popping up

Even this video turned into controversy as Bruce Boudreau didn't find the video amusing and thought it was in poor taste. Ovie doesn't look like he minded too much while he was watching it!



Ovie can be a dirty bastard, he ends up here sometimes.



I was looking at my pictures and having a hard time finding Ovie. I realized that normally I sit closer and point the camera at the goal. You can't cherry pick there! So I looked at some pictures where I sat farther back and my camera a shot of more of the ice...and I found him :)



Todd White and Toby Enstrom are hauling ass to the Washington end, Ovie is gonna hang out near Pavs a bit longer.



Ovie: Video not funny.
Army: Dude, it was just a joke.
Ovie: Ovie no laugh.
Army: Lighten up. Besides, what where you thinking, that commercial was awful.
Ovie: Eastern Motors good company, are you listenin' man?



Maybe Kane is considering one-punching Ovie.



Cherry successfully picked and Ovie is off to the races.



Looks like Kubina got a piece of that one!


Like him or hate him, Ovie is a super star and can be a lot of fun to watch.
