Well charging is when you leave your skates to initiate contact! So in other words (to make sure you understand) he skates up to people at full speed (so far everything is fine) and then jumps into his hit (Not legal). I think I do know what charging is. I am not the only one who has made this observation that Ovechkin charges. Grow up.
@jimmofosty yeah sometimes its just reaction to do that. but roughly 90 percent or more of hits are clean and thats a pretty high number in the league. its just most people dont get called numbnuts.
@jimmofosty uhm you can go and look at all his hits if you'd like dipshit. then look at other hitters around the league and see how many of theirs are clean.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ovie is so dity like his hits always does head shots he is stupid and he cant take a hit like crosby can crosby owns ovie . ovie sucks at playing real hockey and the game is not about hitting and hurting someone
Hmmm think you switched them 2.. You know that Ovie can take and deal out hits. When Crosby gets hit he is gettin pissed and throw some weak punch. And hockey is much about hitting but you are right its not about hurting ppl. So I give you 1 out off 3.. good job
ovechkin is awesome. u dont see this from gay crosby. the league wants him to succeed. fuck him. ovechkin lays frickin wood and crosbny poke checks and the media treats him as a god. ovechkin scores more, hits more, works harder, and skates faster.
Im a Washington fan and an Ovechkin fan but the hit at 0:31 is definitely charging. I don't know how the refs didn't make that call. And hyracatherium, those are not "dirty" hits. the one at 31 is a penalty. But just because something is a penalty doesn't mean its "dirty". same with vice versa. None of the others are penalties nor dirty hits. either. Get your facts straight before you criticize a great player. You're a ref, you should know dirty hits are not always penalties
its human nature to leave the ground when hitting someone. hitting someone satying perfectly on the ice has no effect. and besides, if they werent good hits, the ref would have called them :D
I actually ref hockey. They are actually dirty hits. It's discussed whether or not every year to crack down on this jumping when people are checking. NHL is the worse league for this. It is an actual penalty to jump. You can go down and come up and nail him that way but jumping is a dirty hit because of the potential of head injuries. And it is not human nature. I am not dissing ovechkin because they are not calling it anywhere. It is still an illegal hit.
sometimes you gotta leave your feet to send a message. the hit is just that much harder. and if the refs dont call it youre lucky... if they do then at least you rung someones bell and they are going to be that much more hesitant next time they touch the puck. thats hockey
Im just shocked at how the guy says OV's a 2-way player. Maybe its supposed to be a joke ? Anyways I counted 4 times he left his feet. But, if they're not gonna call it what can you do ?
'Twas yesteryear and a fine summer's eve, when a pestilent whore plucked some ugly gentry... and thus gave birth to yonder lump of shit; that were it not for garbage, would surely starve a plenty.
i disagree with half the people that commented this those are all clean hits ... if they werent he would be called for it so shut up its just a vid anyway
the last hit was cuz ovie left his feet to hit the other guy . ovie hits smart but when he's going against a guy who is just as good as a hitter ovie leavs his feet to get that extra edge and thats cheap cuz every knows not to hit like that . and thats cuz the way he played back in his country they do that there
Some of those should be considered charging. He's leaving his skates before contacting the other player. He's a great player, but even greats play cheap sometimes.
Yeah, I was pretty sure you CAN'T leave your feet... what a vag. And you don't see crosby hitting like this because he wastes all his time scoring goals! Have fun at the mini golf Ovy! Lets go Pens!
ovy doesn't leave his feet? on occasion he'll lean in with one foot up and one on the ice. No shit Crosby doesn't waste his time he just sits in front of the goal waiting for his deflection. Ovechkin is all round better offensively and defensively.
just lettin ya no crosby has never had a season with more than 40 goals ovechkin has had 46 52 56 and 65 goal season and still gets 3 times as many hits as crosby
the caps dont suck there just not as good as the pens, they were very good actually and backstrom was 4th on the caps in goals semin was second with 34. and he missed 20 games, so thats 2 guys on the caps with more goals than crosby
clean hits? What? Count the number of times he leaves his feet, in a 40 second video, im counting 4, 0:090:160:31 and 0:34 and a few others that look possible but im not sure of. Great player, but those are dirty hits, and don't even try to say he left his feet after contact
Crosby was supposed to be like Wayne Gretzky, but now he is barely an all star, and malkin and Ovie are much much better.
Ovechkin, is not the best player, he is the best goal scorer, he does not play good defense, and he needs space to play well, it's good he makes his own space with his hits
Lol, why don't you watch a game of hockey before saying something as stupid as that? 3rd most points in the nhl regular season, sounds like an all star player to me.
People do not understand that in order to be the next Gretzky, you would have to have either 28 years of 100+ points seasons or multiple 200 point seasons! Not impossible but my God, Gretzky is 1000 points over #2 on the all time point list and he played 5 seasons less!
In all fairness Gretzky himself has said on multiple occasions that he would not be near as good points wise in todays NHL. The defense and goaltending is without a doubt better. Crosby is a good comparison to gretzky cause like gretzky if you touch him 50/50 chance you'll get a minor. Ovi is clearly the best in the NHL.

Ovechkin is much more complete hockey player than Crosby. I like Malkin better than Crosby too. Crosby gets a lot of credit just because he is canadian. He is whiney.
Ovechkin seeks finds, and destroy !!

Ovechkin is much more complete hockey player than Crosby. I like Malkin better than Crosby too. Crosby gets a lot of credit just because he is canadian. He is whiney.
