Alex Ovechkin Wears Coaches Corner T-Shirt
Total Pro Sports - The whole Alex Ovechkin situation has officially been blown out of the water. The debate continued the other night when the Capitals were in Toronto to play the leafs and Ovechkin decided to wear his Don Cherry's Coach's Corner shirt.
"It's a big number, I think for everybody. If I get it why (can't I) celebrate?" Ovechkin offered before last night's 3-2 shootout loss to the Leafs. "If you win the lottery, a million dollars, you go to the bar and drink a lot. I scored 50 goals and I just celebrated."
Everyone has their own unique way of celebrating, what would you do if you scored 50 goals in a season?
Just before the Capitals pre-game soccer warm up at around 5:40pm, Alex Ovechkin came out wearing a "Coach's Corner" T-shirt, "Hockey Night in Canada" shorts and on the back of the shirt, someone had written the word: "RESPECT." This was a special pre-game uniform OV wore because he was playing the Leafs and his best friend nemesis Don Cherry lives and tapes Coaches Corner in Toronto.
"It's me, you know, I can do what I want and I don't think it was a bad thing. I don't want to show them disrespect. It's all about my team and it's all about me," he said.
"Some players are just like robots. They score goals and it's like okay, no emotion, nothing. You have to show emotion if you are an emotional guy. Show it. You don't have to think about if somebody doesn't like it.
"I don't care if somebody (doesn't) like it. If somebody (doesn't) like it, don't watch my game, don't watch what I'm doing on the ice." [TorontoStar]
I wonder what Don Cherry will have to say about Ovechkin wearing the Coaches corner gear come this Saturday Night on "Coaches Corner"?
This whole situation should be dropped, Alex Ovechkin is a rare human being with an amazing talent. He is great for the game and if the fans are going to watch him and games are getting sold out, then who cares.
This is why Ovechkin is the best, because he doesn't care what people think about him.

Ovechkin is the best and nobody can comapre
We need more players like OV in the NHL
Ovechkin ur my leader
if u think “OV” is better then Sid the kid, then I am assuming you never played hockey in your life and only undertsand the game from the spectators point of view
Don’t give me that garbage. There are tons of hockey players that think Ovechkin is better than Crosby.
“I assume you’ve never played hockey”….could you sound any more condescending?
ya i never said i was not trying to be condescending for starters….
second, i am sure there are a few stupid hockey players that think OV is better….but im also pretty sure all the smart hockey players and all the smart hockey minds (alla Bowman, Gretzky, Bobby Clarke,, etc) know Crosby is the best woooooooooooooo
theres a few other players in the NHL better then OV too, i.e. Pavel Datsyuk….in case u think i dont like russians…..i actually love russians, go check out that Anna Kournakova playing beer pong article,,,,,i love her
The NHL has never seen a player of OV’s caliber. There has never been a player with this mix of size, speed, stregnth, skill, explosiveness, snipes, dangles, confidence, and love for the game. Crosby is also a good player, but he is not on OVs level and will never be. Ovechkin makes everyone around him better and will one day pass gretzky up in the record books. Washington will be the next dynasty thanks to OV. Crosby is a little bitch and shys away from checks and you won’t catch him in the corner getting griddy. All he is is someone who will have to live in the better players shadow his whole NHL career.
