I would love to have heard him explain, how he wanted the skates to look.

"Uhmm you know black?" :lol:

I dont know about you guys, but I would hate all those people watching me practice. I am more relaxed when a bunch of people arnt watching me.

Most players at that level love to showboat for a crowd. Especially someone like Ovechkin....

Interviewer: "Who is your favourite player in the NHL right now?

Ovy: "Right now?....Me!"

Me personally, Im happy just when my parent's can be F'd coming to see their 23 yo son play in a National tourny....

If I were Ovechkin I would be my favorite player as well

clear visor and reebok helmet? wonder if he goes back to the tinted one

I noticed that too he's not using the ccm helmet and its not the smoked Oakley visor. Ahh man!!!!

I like the rbk helmet and i think that he uses the clear visor just in practice and the tinted in games. I think thats what someone said a while ago...

I'm betting the caps PR department or Alex's agent suggest he take it off so people can see his face.

wouldnt be the PR, the visor became a part of his character and style.

maybe they insisted he show his flash off with his skates instead so he's not hiding his face.

Ovechkin is the only player in the NHL who uses one. Don't think anyone mistaken him as someone else.

[Jason 65]

What about Rick Nash? Doesn't he use a tinted visor? I think he either likes the clear one better. Maybe for poorer lit arenas. Or his sponsors suggested that he wear it to better see his face. I'd say it's likely that the first is true.

Tinted but not mirrored. Nash and Zherev was sporting a tinted one as well as another CBJ, Balastik...and Fedorov too.

That has nothing to do with it, it's his face.

If I was a marketing person, I'd rather sell the image of a person's face than someone who you can't really make much out of because of a mirrored visor.

Ovechkin is also the only number 8 on the capitals, obviously he won't be mistaken for someone else.

Yes, you show his face because then the ProActiv endorsements start knocking on the door.

I thought Sid the Kid was the poster boy for RbK and Ovechkin with CCM? What's up with the RbK helmet and clear Itech visor?

Not that big a deal since they're both owned by the same company

that'd make for an interesting commercial.

Thornton wore a RBK all season long.

I know that Olie Kolzig is wearing RBK pads instead of CCM now too. I have pics of them in my caps training camp thread in the NHL section here.

I still think Max Daigneault's pads are the nicest ever, all white Sherwoods with black writing.

Absolutely georgous

The man probably just digs the RBK helmet.

I've been playing for years and have tried every helmet on the market since the first Cooper 1000 and the RBK lid is by far the most comfortable.

Incidentally, for those of you who don't know what a cool dude this guy is this is a pretty good article.

CCM Goal equipment has been phased out this year, it's now the RBK Vector Line. Not sure which line Olie wore last year, but regardless, they're at the least dressed like rbk vectors.

as embarassing is it may seem, if Ebondo was reacting about ProActiv, i've tried it myself it it does work...

He wore the Vectors like Denis and Brodeur
