Alex Ovechkin: The Classic Superstar
by Christopher Botta Filed under: Capitals , NHL Media Watch , NHL Economics NEW YORK — As Alex Ovechkin takes the pregame warmup at Madison Square Garden, an hour before scoring in his return game — a Capitals ‘ 4-2 win — Rangers fans in blue and white jerseys stand 10-deep behind the glass. In a rarity for this most vocal of fanbases, hardly anyone makes a sound. They mostly just stand and watch and appreciate. Ovechkin is back after a two-week injury and he seems to have been missed not just by Capitals fans. Bob Hoch attempts to focus on Ovechkin with the Canon 200 he’s taken out of his jacket pocket. Hoch has been a Rangers season ticket-holder for five years, but he’s an unabashed Ovechkin true believer. “I love Ovechkin and hate Sidney Crosby ,” Hoch says, as if there has to be a choice. “They’re both incredible hockey players, but Crosby takes dives and avoids contact at all times and Ovie is old school. He’s the guy you’d kill to have on your team.” Alex Ovechkin: The Classic Superstar originally appeared on NHL FanHouse on Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:38:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds . ?
