Alexander Ovechkin found the back of the net at 13:44, finally solving Rangers’ netminder Henrik Lundqvist for the Capitals’ first goal of the game. The Capitals continued pressing for the winner in the third, but the dazzling play of Lundqvist and his defense would not allow any more goals in regulation.

A big upside for Tarasenko is when his numbers are compared to Alexander Ovechkin's during his draft year. Ovechkin scored 13 goals and 23 points in 53 games, while Tarasenko put up 13 goals and 24 points in 11 less games played. He is not as crafty as the big Washington winger, but his numbers are very comparable in the Russian leagues.

d at the start of the 2009-10 season. Sidney Crosby will lead his Pittsburgh Penguins to face Alexander Ovechkin and the high-powered Washington Capitals. Crosby, along with his star support like goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, center Evgeni Malkin and defenseman Sergei Gonchar, can only be beaten at their own game; scoring more goals than the other team and flexing their offensive muscles at every turn. The same can be said for Ovechkin and his teammates like defenseman Mike Green and forwards Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Semin. No one can stop these guys; or so we thought. Who do these Canadien guys think they are?

Alexander Ovechkin (Washington Capitals)
When looking at this star-studded list, it is hard to fit Oshie in it. The young man has skill and knows how to use it, but he has just never been able to put up the big numbers. Even when playing with the University of North Dakota, he was not far-and-away the biggest point producer. Even when playing with the likes of current NHLers Drew Stafford, Jonathan Toews and Travis Zajac, Oshie only cracked the 50-point plateau once when playing over 40 games every year in three NCAA seasons. Even defensive forward Jay Pandolfo scored 67 points in 40 games in his senior year at Boston University, and non-flashy Mike Knuble scored over 60 points twice in his tenure with the University of Michigan.

e had just 1 goal and 1 assist in the series sweep by the Penguins. Also, lets not forget the Alexander Ovechkin – Don Cherry fiasco that swarmed the hockey world for weeks after Ovechkin celebrated his 50th goal of the season.

p; So where is the media coverage? Why is it that we are hearing more about Sydney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin’s quarrels than the great achievements set forth by Brodeur?
