[The Darkest Canuck]

there's no real need to celebrate any goal that extensively (for surely not in the regular season)...act like you've done it before, and you're gonna do it again, show some class! .

That is exactly why I will never respect Ovechkin, his celebrations are absolutely ridiculous. Whenever he scores, could be in the first period or the goal to make it 8-0, he acts like he just scored the overtime winner in the stanley cup finals.

well, i think we all have to respect his on-ice abilities...but it's true, he does hot dog it a lot...at least he has the goods to back it up, but still, it's unecessary, and borderline unsportsman-like...

but, the kid loves putting the puck in the back of the net, more than anything in the world, and he defeinately shows it everytime he does.
