Ovechkin vs. Crosby? Not anymore.

Video of the Day

Malkin's hit on Alex Ovechkin on January 21, 2008. Boo!

I chose this video as video of the day because it reflects an article in this weeks "Hockey News".

Basically the article talks about Ovie and Evgeni Malkin's rivalry this year and how it effects each other's game. I did not like this article! The author seemed to be mostly on Malkin's "side" because he kept talking about why Ovie wants to hit Malkin every time they play each other. He doesn't state anything bad about Evgeni, while he makes Alex Ovechkin seem like a player who just wants to get revenge when these two players are on the ice. Both Alex and Evgeni have admitted they are not friends anymore and that there is tension between them. Here is what Evgeni said: "Ovechkin is a great player. Every time he hits me, I don't know why. It's a hockey game. Ovechkin is a good strong guy, a physical guy. I'm OK."

Forget Ovechkin vs. Crosby. Looks like Ovie has a new foe to deal with.

P.S. Want to know what Sidney Crosby thought about Alexander Semin's famous comments? "I'd be better off keeping my opinions to myself, I think. He can say what he wants." -Sidney Crosby. Wow look who is trying to seem like the "bigger man" now? Cool, Sidney, cool.
