Ovechkin

Just listening to an interview with him and he seems like a good kid. He was asked how he would describe his game and he said, "I like hit and I like to score." His English needs a bit of work but he really seems to say the right things.

His fav players are apparently Tie Domi and Iginla.

he mentioned Nolan but not Domi in the one I heard.

On HNIC yesterday, they showed him and Cherry asked him who is fav player was and he said Iginla, and Cherry said after, that during the interview pratice he said Domi.

I saw a TV interview not long ago.. he seemed like a great kid and can't wait to see him play!!!

He does seem pretty good, I haven't seen a Russian prospect do too many interviews like he is doing. That was kind've unique to see'em say Iggy and apperantly Domi were his favourite players, I was expecting Mogilny and maybe Bure or Federov.

The most consistent comment i've heard in interviews is his favorite team being San Jose and Nolan his favorite player.

He likes physical players and included Mario because he said he liked the way mario was able to stickhandle and score.
