Ovechkin Scores an Amazing Goal - Canadiens at Capitals - Feb 18 2009

[LEGOGuy505]

"This guy's spectacular, he's super human!" A microcosmim of the Washington Capitals.

[eaglez1177]

DAMN! That was a fucking sick move

[Mrakstunna]

Malkin is a lil bit slower

if he worked on his speed he could be better then Crosby

i duno about Ovechkin though this guy is "UNSTOPPABLE"

[Croomie93RS]

Malkin is not better...You can tell by the points and goals, Ovi all the way!

[ovechkin250]

i was at this game whoo ovechkin is sick

[scheinii1]

what a goal its my all time fav

[squash159]

amazing

[Z28ISGR8]

Ovechkin cock slaps Crosby.

[mikooou]

@Z28ISGR8 there is 1 big difference between Ovechkin and Crosby -- Stanley Cup Champion

[ihaterunescape]

@mikooou Just because a TEAM wins a cup doesn't mean a player on that TEAM is better than any other player. I'm pretty sure Crosby didn't win that cup by himself.

[sports89man7]

I was at that game and let me tell you... That was one hell of a goal

[Vicente2782]

this guy is an amazing person off and on the ice !!! what a goal ! for me he's the best nhl player in these times although he still needs some time to win the cup :P

[champking26]

no surprise he did that, ovi is one of the best of all time

He is the best Russian player for sure

[RLewisH]

Malkin is better for sure...

[1jaybaybay2]

No are yo kiddin me

[RLewisH]

No, Malkin is so much better

[gymnasticshottie13]

now oveckhin is better than crosby. crosby is afraid to get in there and duke it out. if he wants to be the star hes got show taht hes not afraid to play the puck doesnt follow him he follows the puck hes got to make it happen. then malkin idk where to begin he had a mad scroing strek. but happened in the playoffs did his balls frop off and had to wait to grow new ones? ovy is the best in the nhl but can never be compared to gretzky it was two different time periods.

[gymnasticshottie13]

gretzky got there because he was better than anyone else. they didnt call him the best for no reason. he know 30- 40 seconds ahead of time where the play would go and where he needed to be. he had smarts. so does oveckhin but players are just better than they used to be.

[gymnasticshottie13]

you guys cant compare gretzky to ovy. its to different times. todays nhl the goalies do more work than ever. off-season traing to stay in shape. long workouts they are just better than the older goalies. i mean you had great goalies but today the game is faster and more up beat. players have faster shots better accuracy but goalies come back with amazing agiltiy and skill. it evens out. ovy will never get to 92 goals because of how good other players and goalies are.

[RyanTeam5]

yea i agree goalies don't play the same style as 90's

[Take1Them1Out]

well put, most of gretzkys goals are shot in an open net because the goalie dove, or he would snipe 5 hole becuase goalies never did a butterfly, they just went flat on there pads covering no net at all. now ovy has to beat well trained goalies who know what theyre doing

[flames101sulaiman]

i dont know why they call gretzky amazing cuz at the time an amazing save was considered a puck hitting a pad

[C2Foxxy1994]

insane

[FightinxIrishx90]

in my opinion ovechkin is better than gretzky in his prime. ovie is the best player in the nhl. he has hands, shot, hits, smart, and faith. i mean malkin is good but i just think ovie is better. the thing about crosby is that he complains too much wen things dnt go his way

[Wecheerloudest]

Gretzky in his prime scored 215 pts! 92 Goals.......better??!!! hahaha

[bagoge2]

goalie were all piece of shit

[charpmike35]

yeah he got those points against goalies wearing 30 pound pads who thought every shot called for a toe save.

[naruto20000]

OMG HE IS AWESOME, loved how he deked out that guy and hit the puck in while on the ground!

[Hager138]

awesome lolz

[Ratedmarti]

Simply Incredible

[dondadda]

all u haters just stfu y come on here 2 watch this crazy goal if ur just gonna bitch n whine. Greztky was a great player but 2 bad he was a pussy who couldnt hit or fight. No one is ever going 2 get as many points as him and lemieux got cuz it aint possible in 2days nhl. Malkins the best player in the nhl so i dunno y ppl even bother deciding whos better outta ovechkin and crosby.

[RedeboProductions]

He's the best player i think. He has skill, muscles, confidents, attitude, everything.

Hate me if u must

[87beats8]

Ovechkin should be called Ofatskin.

[TheTigersWingsFan]

nice name idiot

[yoboychowby]

he sucks he is so stupid i hate him oveeeeee he is such a show off

[Dranoel34]

your just jealus

[kb9919]

better than the Coyotes goal

[choubakabra123]

ovechkin its my opignion but i think he is better then maurice richard for me !

[dldetwi]

Were you even alive to watch Richard play?

[VadikMAGGOT]

BEST

[ovechk08]

OvechKing!!!!!!!!!!!!

He Had To Do That Amazing Goal Against My Home Team :P

wtv it was worth it :P

O.V Maurice Richard Trophy Winner Once Again This Year!!!

[Mikelegit122]

lol crosby sucks the said he was the next gretzky but lol its ovetchkin

[dldetwi]

First of all, Crosby doesn't suck. That's just stupid. And Ovechkin's not really the next Gretzky, because Gretzky got a ton of money assists (you have to pass to do that, for starters), and he never, ever had to shoot nearly as many times as Ovechkin to score 50 goals, let alone 90.

[flyfunkmasta]

PURE LUCK...I'm kidding! This goal just shows how much of an incredible athlete Ovechkin is. You guys can debate how good Ovechkin is and whether or not his goals are luck or skill, but what it really comes down to is he just absolutely never gives up. He's my favorite hockey player!

[wheels0328]

Simply beautiful crosby ain't got nottin on him

[Sebbiio]

crosby IS the best player in the NHL. noob

[NAWGWAY]

no, you're a fuckin shaft.

[s1grace]

Are you kidding me? Even the pass to himself was sick.

[stevieray351]

what a disgusting pass by komisarek, that guys a freakin all star?

[Sadiquit0]

I don't really understand all the hype around this goal. The goal itself sucked. The spin-o-rama around Hamrlik in itself was amazing, and few players but Ovechkin could pull it off as beautifully, but come on... the goal was lame, Price could have stopped that shot 20 times over, it just seems he shat his pants when he saw the great 8 coming his way.

[stevieray351]

are you high...had a defender draped over him fell to the ice and was still able to lift it over the pad...you could do that though so thats probably why its not amazing to you because you do it all the time right

[Sadiquit0]

Hum no I'm not high, if I was this goal would definitely look amazing, everything does when you're high.

I love your point and thank you for the compliment. Unless I misunderstood you, which I am sure I did not, you said that for a goal to be amazing I must not be able to do it personally, is that right? Well I must confess... in that case, 99.9999% of all goals scored in the NHL are absolutely amazing, because I don't believe I could personally pull any of them off.

[ballanation8484]

yea the move was great, but you didn't take notice to the finish, clearly. ovechkin was sliding on his ass when he got the shot off.  his improvisation skills on the ice are matched by very few in the world

[wheels0328]

ur kiding me right he is simply the best player in the NHL and no one can dog his skillz

[Chaossdruid]

Please do me a favor and tell me exactly were I said he wasn't the best player and where I said someone could dog his skills.

Now make an effort to at least read this comment befor replying.

[Chaossdruid]

chaossdruid- You son of a bitch, why did u use my damned account, now i look like a douchebag.

[NAWGWAY]

i agree with you, but wtf does dog his skills mean

[wheels0328]

you can't say he does not have any skillz(NAWGWAY)

[NightmareX151]

That was amazing

[angelocovone]

i love the words the commentator says. insanity, super human

[terrificrick39]

A O ....yes sir no stoppin him

[triplelowman]

Caps will shite the bed in the playoffs.

[eckojuice]

ovechkin will pass gretzky. he is the greatest player to ever hit the ice

[sainters7]

He won't, but he's also playing in a different era. No way Gretzky would score 92 goals and have 215pts in a season in today's NHL.

[eckojuice]

you have a good point and your probably right. It's a shame though that so many players are just so good that they can contain him to a certain degree.

[57111730]

He is the best<3

[Daisy6969]

ovechkin is the man holy shit crosby gotta start livin up to his standards you never see good goals like this coming from him.

[joyfulvulture]

"ovechkin is the man holy shit crosby gotta start livin up to his standards you never see good goals like this coming from him"

and you dont see any great passes coming from ovy either.

its almost as if you dont even know what kind of players they are to begin with, just shut up.

[Spleenman09]

Go Wild!

[starburstgoo]

4-2 Flyers Def. Capitals,

that's all i gotta say

[eckojuice]

oh. thanks for the input moron

[scweeb]

Who cares if im a habs fan, that was an amazing goal!!!!! But GO HABS GO, should have won that game

[Pelicanproverb]

all those points malkin and crosby rack up add don't seem to matter much -- they're a 10th place team -- seems clear to me that pittsburgh's best player was marian hossa ...

[FoundationSktr]

rivalry between ovechkin and crosby will never end. even though i am more of an ovechkin fan crosby is still an amazing player to watch. that was an amazing goal and player who can make nothing into something

[hockeyplaya2722]

would you stick your dick in my ear if i rubbed your balls

[sweetvidz3]

i don't like crosby either but he's good.

but that play was pretty dang good but not AMAZING, just good

[ASL35020]

good goal......way too much of a player

[shelbyandersonn]

Please, Crosby is a pretty boy. Malkin is the real star for the penguins. And Ovechkin is better than the two of them. Look at the talent the penguins got and how even with the supposed "superstars" on there team the Pens are still underacheiving.

[kewlnsimpguy]

thats becvause malkin and crosby are the only thing pittsburgh has

[motocross211]

that was retarded

[OvEcHkInG2831]

Crosby has more fighting majors in his career than OV though, I'm just saying. I think they are both incredible players and I give OV the slight edge.

[lornstar6]

ovechkin is great.

so is crosby.

anybody who doesn't understand that knows nothing about hockey.

nothing.

his fellow players voted Crosby MVP. so did the media who watch him play every night.

your opinion about him, as some random anonymous person on YouTube, is meaningless, compared to those who play against him.

[InsideTheFire101]

Boston Bruins!!!!!

[fatwidaph]

no, i hate crosby, because hes a pretty boy, just like gretzky, dont wanna take hits, dont even wanna dish hits, he runs away when ever theirs trouble.

[malkincrosby0708]

i dont think you watch hockey much

[wallens14]

dude,i saw this game and i think the caps won it

[fatwidaph]

the other thing is, for anyone who says ovie is in it for the "glory" is retarded. if he was in it for the glory he wouldnt of signed another contract with the caps when they were at best, an ok team.  he wouldve demanded to be traded. The guy loves the game, and the game loves him.

[TheKillersno1Fan]

wow. only ovech could do something like that

[EnterGuitarist]

I think it's ignorant when people say that Crosby sucks, because he doesn't. However, right now, Ovechkin is by far the better of the two. Ovechkin is also more original and innovative than Crosby, in my opinion.

[WahooWa1819]

no one[playing today] should be compared to ovechkin....no one has the pure overall hockey talent that he has.

[fatwidaph]

"Its a team sport hows 2nd place looking. He has skills but most annoying player ive ever seen. "

Youre an idiot, i love him cause hes not a pretty boy like crosby and gretzky he will take the hit and he will dish the hit.. Hes just as happy when his team scores just like when he does.. And i love the fact that he acts like its his first goal everytime, it shows how much he loves the game. People call him a hotdog, but if they knew anything about the kid, he loves the game more then anything.

[dbui72]

I agree, people should google his charity work. Search for the story for the fan in Baffalo.

[rammunitiondb9]

and at the end of the day im biased. i mean of course i love Canadian players ( except Crosby) im a proud Canadian. i can only expect the same from others. its all opinion anyways

[rammunitiondb9]

im not saying that there arent any other talented players. there are some incredibly gifted players from other countries. actually they are often more fun to watch. what im saying is at the heart of basically every cup win there is almost always a Canadian. case in point, Lidstrom was the first ever European captain to win the cup.(and he deserved it. one of the best defenseman ever in my mind).Europe does have the upper hand in international play, cant deny that. 'cept for juniors

[TheTigersWingsFan]

better then the other one... the other one was luck

[dbui72]

Yes, but can you put a shot on net with a one hand curl on your back?

[TheTigersWingsFan]

id like to see how many times out of 100 he could score that phoenix goal again

[grilledcheese512]

habs are the best. but i love ovechkin. sick goal ovie

[Blazeuptheheat]

I mgot only 1 phrase to say '' here Ovechkin cuts in shoots scoressssssssssssssssss'' nuff said oh and I respect Crosby hes a talented player but Ovechkin is wayy better end of discussions may the audience shut up now

[iluvov]

Simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[jaynbob20]

i got season tickets. ovie amazes me everygame. best money i ever spent ahha. ovie and crosby debate should b over now. once it is we wont hear crosby's name anymore

[mcballa898]

ovechkin is the best!!

[cne08]

Sweet goal by the great 8.

[paintballcs]

Guy is a joke. He acts like its his first goal every time. He needs to have respect and not do these dumb celebrations that act like he just won the stanley cup.

[Blazeuptheheat]

shut the fuck up u would be all hyped up too if u do somethin like this eat a dick fuckin qeer

[madboost35]

haha ok sure he needs to have respect for who? he can act how he likes as long as he dosent act like avery or chris simon.

[paintballcs]

wow because i dont have freedom of speech or anything you dumb fk. I played hockey for 9 years and thats one of the most disrespectful things you can do. Its a team sport hows 2nd place looking. He has skills but most annoying player ive ever seen. He acts like its his first goal he ever scored every time.

[madboost35]

i guess youre a Boston fan with that 2nd place comment huh? well i tell you what in this praticular year please tell me in 3 games who so far has the most points?

Nevermind i'll spare you that 3 games

caps 5pts out of possible 6

bruins 2pts out of possible 6.

[Sticksboi35]

You are a fucking idiot. He plays with passion. He has respect unlike Crosby the diver. He cheers just as wildly when his teammates score. Idiot.

[justaddwater1]

He has respect for who? Yes he has passion, but you have to admit he is a bit of a hotdog. Kovalchuk was doing the same crap when he first came into the league and his own teammates and coaches had to set him straight and he's a completely different player now. Crosby and other great players have passion too. But when Crosby shows passion it's whining. There's a double-standard there and I'm not sure why. Ovie can do nothing wrong but as soon as Crosby sneezes he's put through a microscope...

[Sticksboi35]

He's not a hotdog. He plays with insane passion. He cheers as wildly when his teammates score. The energy he plays with energizes the team and the home crowd. Nobody is denying Crosby is great but sometimes he takes his captain responsibilities a bit too far trying to get the refs. Nevertheless, I hope they meet in the playoffs.

[justaddwater1]

Fair enough 'Stickboi35', but he's not the only player to yap at the refs once in a while, it's just that no one cares when someone else does it. Anyway they are both great players and Malkin as well and that would be an 'insane' series to watch although it looks kind of tough for the Pens right now to even get there. I guess this is part of the growing pains...

[dbui72]

Hitting someone in the nads while that player is being held by your teammate is a reason Crosby gets crap. I remember two clean hits he puts on Crosby, and the guy cries about it or gets mad, then his teammate has to come save hit butt.

[justaddwater1]

Thanks 'dbui72' for proving my point exactly. They all make mistakes as young players, (lets not forget how old these kids are). When Crosby makes a mistake everyone crucifies him. When Ovie does something he shouldn't (like headhunting against Malkin), oohhh.. it's just emotion getting the best of him, he's passionate, etc.. you guys will find any excuse to let him off the hook. Whether you like it or not there is a double-standard.

[oneyebrydges]

the double standered is that One of them is well liked and one isnt....pretty simple. this is because of the way they play.

[justaddwater1]

Just because Crosby doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve like Ovie jumping around like a 12 year old every time he scores, doesn't mean that should be a reason not to like him, I don't buy it...

[spartan934]

no he wears his emotions on his collar everytime those tears run down his face

[paintballcs]

who you fking wanna keep talking shit over the internet buddy. I hope it makes it feel like you have a bigger penis talking trash on the itnernet because everyone still knows your a little white boy hiding behind the computer screen. I have my on opionon so deal with it.

[JoeyTrib007]

Ovechkin's the best!! I think he even impressed himself lol! He's just too fast for nhl...there should be a higher level of hockey for guys like him!

[rammunitiondb9]

#1 im Canadian #2 i love ovie. think hes an amazing player #3 just because im canadian doesnt mean i love crosby. don't really like him at all really, whether hes good or not. #3 the notion that Canadians are ticked off that we don't have another Gretzky is absurd. we own this game. virtually every cup winning team has either a Canadian as a captain or as major player. Sakic, Lemieux, Yzerman, Roy, Brodeur. the list goes on. there was one Gretzky and there will never be another one,from anywhere

[madboost35]

i salute canadians like you but you dont own the sport sorry. I can say the same for stanley cup teams that have russian players on them, one comes to mind is russian 5 in detroit when they gave detroit its first cup in 50+ years in 1997. While brodour is great, nabakov is 2-0 vs canada in his international career and possibly slightly better then marty but that is a matter of opinion.

[k666diamond]

We are so lucky to be able to watch one of the greatest players in the game of all times, just an amazing player!!!

[madboost35]

On the other hand anyone still want to talk about crybaby crosby i think its all very clear now ovechkin is much better player if you dont think so you either

a. canadian

b. american

c.hate russians

d. in denial

e. all of the above

[justaddwater1]

Ovi is an amazing player, no-one can take over a game the way he can when it's on the line. Having said that, I don't think that one goal makes one player overall better than another. I also believe it's a double-standard. Crosby has scored at least 4-5 goals while on the ice. When he does it, he gets criticized of unnecessarily diving. When he celebrates a goal he's a hotdog, but when Ovi bounces all over the boards, that's all fun, just emotion. And btw, I believe Malkin is better than both.

[madboost35]

all i have to say is stats dont lie, how many more goals does ovechkin have then crosby and please spare me the assist crap cuz no one cares about them, thats why i think that Backstroom is a good player and his pts show but no where near ovechkin just like crosby. Malkin better? ok seriously when either of these score 60 goals in one season come talk to me. Ovechkin has like what 90 more goals then crosby and played one more season?

[justaddwater1]

No one cares about assists! That's like saying no one cares about plus-minus, about rebounds or assists in basketball, Steve Nash is never going to be considered a great scorer but he is considered one of the best passers/playmakers of all time and a 2 time, back to back MVP. You just showed your immaturity with that comment.

[gaj995]

he jus got lucky, Ov SUCKS

[madboost35]

hey what can i say youre just another canadien hater, mad about that canada hasnt produced a player of this caliber since Gretzky.

[BlaculasSmellyFro]

I hate hockey... I never know what's going on or even where the puck is. They should make it bright red or something.

[alastair36]

Stick to lawn bowling then, it is slow enough for you to follow :) Don't hate a sport just because it is too fast for you or because you do not understand the rules. I am just as ignorant as you however so I'm a hypocrite. I find football too slow and the rules pretty silly. But I'm a fan of the fastest and hardest game so what do you expect.

[skeemer9]

Then don't watch it. Is it really that difficult? Baseball moves at a snails pace. So does golf. Try one of those ones.

[9erber9]

Carey Price sucks

[Jenkinss]

wtf, i just watched it for the first time and i have no clue wtf just happened LOL, i think he like bounced it off the wall and spun the otherway around the player then i have no clue wtf happened

[8saxa9]

Овечкин Красава)

[jpruefer]

Wahnsinn!!!

[letmeknow138]

That's so sick, I just threw up

[thefik]

he was genetically engineered by the soviet government

[ryptide]

Alexander Ovechkin is not from this planet. He's so good it doesn't even make sense.

[martylocal87]

i agree. Every single part of hockey he just destroys.

[IololololololololoI]

I like his Phoenix goal a bit better, but this one is still beyond awesome.

I'm a Habs fan, but hey... What can you do against *that* ? XD

[t187b]

OVECHKIN RULES ALL. Whoever doesn't agree needs to take there head out of the ass

[Grandpa001]

Captials Suck Go Canadiens

[jpnis32]

hahahhahhahah

[mitherman]

sore much?

Anyway, this might be better than OV's phoenix goal...might. They're both freaking amazing! Alex rocks!

[madboost35]

are you serious did you watch the game? how do the caps suck if they got 6 out of possible 8 pts vs Habs? I tell you this Habs played a good game, but price outdid theodore hands down if not for price habs would of lost by 3 goals at least.

[drinkstwohanded]

awesome

[soosh123]

lets just leave it at this. i think we should come to expect this kind of unreal type of play by alexander ovechkin because he is honestly just the best player out there

[nghi50]

@Andy Savage - Really?! thats an ugly goal?

[AndySavageX]

not ugly jsut not great more luck and horable goaltending then anything a good goalie would have just went into the butterfly and save that no prob instead of diving out like an idiot

[carsrule24]

how is that one horrible tending? the shootout ok that was bad, but its tough to make that save when he didnt expect it

[jackhandy213]

you can't even spell and we're supposed to listen to your opinion? idiot

[AndySavageX]

the move is nice toget the puck the goal is ugly dont no how price couldnt save that actually i know why he couldnt save it cause hes carey price

[soosh123]

i dunno about the goal being ugly i mean its tough to make that kinda shot from your back. nevertheless ovechkin has gotta be the best hockey player that anyone has seen in the last decade. true it helps that carey price isnt to great but he did help win us the world juniors

[boozecruisin]

Ugly goal? What's a pretty goal?

[Losuol]

Ok just clarifying ... um ugly goal - a scramble out in front of the net and crosby kicks it in. That my friend what we just saw was not an ugly goal :/

[soosh123]

this is absolutely unreal. in my mind the best player out there. love ovie

[jaybo1015]

yea tell me the last time gasby did this

ovechkin is a god

LETS GO CAPSSSSSSSSSS

[webpcgame]

Ovechkin sucks, fucking russian

[angelocovone]

what a goal

[uuuhhhuuuhhhh]

Dirt.

[BryanErnst]

Hes like a train, he cant be stopped !
