Nick 488 very interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

Hockey's Kobe.

He deserved it sooo much! One of the greatest players ever, best scorer for sure.

Omg ...You can say the same thing about Raymond Bourque or Steve Yzerman...like gimme a break.

Mike Bevins your point?

@@Spyderz-xo9rz Which would still say this was one of the "most emotional moments in hockey". You're ignorant

u need a profile pic for that superior username

@@ChuckBeefOG lol

David Westlund Crosby is better and way more accomplished

And now we have Mcdavid aswell. That guys a freak at hockey. In my honest opinion, McDavid will go down as the best to play hockey ever, but the numbers won't show, because of era differences.

J Cowan More accomplishes in terms of team awards, yes. Ovi is more accomplished when it comes to overall awards tho. They are both insane players, just appreciate it while you can.

Adam A Yes he has the talent to be one of the all time greats as well. I don’t think anyone else right now is tho. And that was my point. Being able to se two of the arguably top 10 players of all time play at the same time while in their prime. It has been truly special.

@@Wrath15___ Crosby is a whiny little weasel......is he supremely talented? of course, but he used to whine so much. If you were to compare three of the top players today, I would say it goes: Conner McDavid, Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby. Crosby also had the benefit of having Malkin, arguably a first ballot hall of famer himself on the same team. Ovechkin built the Caps brand, Crosby worked under Mario Lemeuix, whom built the Penguins brand. No other player in Caps history has meant more for his franchise than Ovechkin.....that in and of itself speaks volumes as to, arguably, how much better than Crosby, Ovechkin is.

Out of his fucking mind!!!!

The way he celebrated in the days/weeks/months after finally winning it puts no doubt in my mind how much he wanted it. All the doubters that thought he wanted Olympic Gold more than Lord Stanley have been shut up. 2018 was a Winter Olympic year and OV choose to stay and play in the NHL that Winter instead of going to play for Russia's Olympic team with the NHL not participating. He even had the Caps owner's blessing to play in the Olympics and he choose to go for the Stanley Cup instead.

@@moskillz76 There was no NHL players in 2018 olympics....i mean they were not allowed to play at all

Never has there been a more deserving win. Straight up beast.

brokenhill.tumblr.com/post/174710850758/ovechkin-2018 Ovechkin 2018 I’ve never seen a child more wild with joy Than Ovechkin at thirteen His ancestors’ mouths blown out, radiant with disbelief and relief that there is still life that something somewhere in the black hole of the universe still works was meant for him was truly mercury Wings built for speed on the heels of him disbelieving that his father cared, came home, after all, after those dark nights with silver cup, still drunk with something that made sense of the wooden marrow of the bone where blood is made in endless practice rinks circles and cuts and the black vacuity of hurt and speed of hurt and thrill of hurt Till finally, lifted, the lights of angels, forget for a moment their manufacture of worms and turn their spotlights back on the silvered names poured out upon the ice drop by drop and fist by fist.

Ovi is friends with Putin.Putin is a dictator.

@@Johntb100 What does that even have to do with this? Lay of with your sad life and try to be happier for once

@@Johntb100 aeroplane captain is Dictator too.what happened here in Europe,when we have no borders,just global liberalism.just Eu size sabotage.Putin is the man.

I mean the caps were never bad... demanding trade cause you fail to rise to the occasion annually against the penguins in the playoffs even when you had arguably better teams is a bitch move. He stayed cause he knew his team could beat crosby, and it was only a matter of time before they finally broke thru.

@@onebuffalo5402 I’m not sure about that. As a NY Islanders fan, I can’t stand either one. As the purest Hockey fan; He’s one of my favourite players. I respect both of them, but I love Ovechkin’s physicality. If Washington had the Goaltending like Pittsburg. I’m not sure 🤔 how it would have gone. I do know this: if the Cap’s had Thomas, Flurry, Murray? I’m of the opinion they win at least one more Cup, if not 2? I am looking forward to watching (yes I do believe he will) Ovie beat that Demigod Wayne Gretzky as the all-time goals scored!

eddie bear Crosby is Messi because he’s physically smaller, more humble, and a bit more technically proficient. Ovechkin is Ronaldo because he’s a goal scoring machine who is also a big body, and has a feisty personality to match. Both are legends, and like how Messi and Ronaldo would have dominated in old soccer, Sid and Ovi would easily tear up old hockey. In my opinion, both pairs are easily the best players each sport has ever seen.

@@blap5630 But Messi and Ronaldo did dominate in modern soccer. They were indisputable best during the last decade, and a lot of people consider them to be the best of all time. Can't say the latter about Ovi/Crosby, but everything else I can agree with.

ViS ovechkin and Crosby were widely considered to be the best players for almost a decade. Sure the time frames are a bit smaller, but they still dominated the league

@@blap5630 I know, what I meant is what makes Messi and Ronaldo different is that they are breaking records that were set decades ago in modern soccer era. They are more like what Gretzky was in his time, to me atleast.

Soccer is for pussies

@KoivuTheHab Nice troll attempt bud, but 2007 called and wanted their joke back.

@KoivuTheHab He literally scored in all different ways when we won the cup. Tap ins, falling in front of the next, one timer, wrist shot, backhand. Get back on your meds man, or get glasses, either way sort your shit out.

@KoivuTheHab You *made* no point. The only thing you said was just an invalid and sad attempt at trolling.

KoivuTheHab how is he a one trick pony when he is literally a feared PWF, if not the most feared? The guy hits like a dump truck, goes into every board battle, passes the puck really well, and has only gotten better every year on the defensive end. The fact he is the greatest goal scorer of all time doesn’t make him a one-trick pony.

KoivuTheHab you lose every argument as soon as you say anything irrelevant to the topic at hand. Ovechkin is not a one-trick pony and hasn’t been for a while. Get over it.

True - no scandals, no bad behavior, just a hard-working professional. Seems rare these days.

And I felt like some hockey media tried to create scandals over dumb stuff like his hot stick celebration. Why can't we enjoy great hockey talent while he's still playing?

@@moskillz76 it was a lose-lose situation for Ovechkin. He celebrates - “he’s actin like an idiot” if he doesn’t - he’s just another emotionless, robotic Russian

Forget just hockey? That's all you should remember about this Putin supporter

@@MichaelMcMoron Who cares lol

Alex Pennie this but the Bruins in 2011

KoivuTheHab shut up 🤐

KoivuTheHab do you not realize I was copying what Ovechkin said?

KoivuTheHab you must be fun at parties

😂😂

ironic since the soviet teams of the past were exactly like that!

Bruiser King wiping away my tears again over here too, I just can’t help it!

Waited 8 years

I'm an Avs fan, and I cry too because the Caps are my 2nd favorite team.

Bruiser King I was right with you brother all of the one and done years.

Me too, I just cry every time when see those moments, that's amazing

Thanks man ❤ I love the NHL for many reasons and one of them is when fans like you can step up and show class/respect for a rival!

Pens would have gotten the 3peat though if they didn’t lose game 6 that year

I respect you for this

Good look broski. Respect.

Amazing that Pens and Caps have been the best two teams from 2016 to 2018!

J C yeah actually I think he’s the great generation or whatever they r called

@@TheHalo4News Think it's called the Silent Generation

Cherry should talk. The guy is an ass

Nate Mauratt if you consider 21 young then yeah. didn’t really start watching hockey until about 06-07

It always brings a smile to my face no matter how I was feeling a few seconds ago.

Greatest goal scorer in history

Always been trading kane for ovi

@Nate Mauratt the shots thing is a moot point. Also Gretzky played in a much higher scoring era. Not saying he isn't the Great One, but the gap isn't as cavernous as it appears.

And the great one shit probably 600 goals on the ice with his shit era with the thinnest pads ever .

Back at ya. The Caps winning the Cup was a dream come true for us. I've waited for 33 years for it. I want that for Leafs fans. You guys have waited far too long for the Cup again. Hoping that the current Leafs are on the verge of a break through.

so you would take him over a guy who was not a pure goal scorer and still holds the all time record? that is interesting.

@@Jimmyfly215 if Ovechkin played in the 80s he would have over a thousand goals

@@Jimmyfly215 so youre claiming ovechkin is not a pure goal scorer

James Sweeney he said for goal scoring you tit

Sully 111 you’re an idiot who can’t comprehend. A non goal scorer “Gretzky” and a pure goal scorer in Ovechkin. And Gretzky is better goal scorer than Ovechkin, and anybody else. Not even close. And he’s not known as a goal scorer, he was a set up guy

LMFAO did not see this one coming

2BAD4YOU already one goal closer!! 255 more goals!!!!!

His number will obviously be retired

No way he doesnt get his jersey retired and get put in the hall

@@Unknown-ph9oj I think he means league wide, probably a jab at the NHL for retiring no.99 league wide.

It is impossible bro 92 goals will not happen im sorry

Dazoni!!

Every time!

Karen Sanders just cause rewatching my team win the championship was the best feeling ever

HiZ RedShift probably doesn’t feel entirely comfortable doing formal interviews in English

MrAllenIV Crosby better

That’s a pretty dumb statement

@@conorwreckoner Well mate, 8 other blokes and counting thought it was hilarious...so looks like you don't get invited to the party 😕
