Then you should wait for Staal, Spezza, and Crosby to develop before you compare them, as well... And honestly, Kovalchuk too, he's not much older and he's already a lot better and always has been. After watching that video, I thought 2 things:
1. American hockey announcers lick fucking nuts. I'm sorry you're used to calling baseball where you can talk about random bullshit and not get caught off guard with a goal, but in this sport, things HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. PAY ATTENTION YOU DUMB TWATS.
2. A similar highlights package for Pavol Datsyuk would have been roughly 2.331 times as impressive.
Which isn't to say Ovechkin isn't good... he's amazing... he's just being overhyped here.
