Alex Ovechkin Highlights 2018 Stanley Cup MVP – YouTube
All-time my favorite hockey player of all-time is the one from Parry Sound, Ontario…one Bobby Orr. His greatness cannot be debated—he changed the change of hockey and ruled it until his knees betrayed him.
Second…would the other immortal Boston Bruin defenseman…Raymond Bourque– who won his Cup with the Colorado Avalanche at the end of his career.
Third for me would either be Super Mario or Mark Messier. I like players who are tough and are five skill team players…that’s why Gretzky doesn’t make my list until maybe No. 7.
Five team hockey skills are…skating, checking, fighting, passing, and then shooting the puck.
I have to admit I’ve loved Ovechkin, but I really shot him to the top of my current list when he was big enough as a player to change his game in 2018 and become a total team hockey player. A hockey player who led by example to everyone on his team.
So when I watch the Bruins play the Caps nowadays…I’m actually kinda rooting for Alex if that makes any sense.
Caps at the Bruins on Friday night. It should be great.
