Alex Ovechkin

Because he is the best hockey player on the face of the planet, and is the best indivdual player (i.e. he wins individual awards like Most Outstanding and Valuble Player) while his usual competitot, Shitney crysby, racks up TEAM awards that don't show his playing ability, just his team's ability as a whole.

Very likely. I watched a documentary on Ovechkin, and he really looks up to his mom. The reason for him wearing the #8 is because his mom wore it when she won a gold medal in the Olymics women's Basketball for the Soviets. His mom also EXPECTS him to get a Stanley Cup and Olympic Gold Medal by the end of his hockey career.

Probably, Chara is a monster.

No he has not scored 9 goals in a game. It would be really hard to score 9 goals in ONE game. But I think it would be awesome if he did score 9 goals

Alexander Ovechkin (2005-present) **Alex chose number 8 in honor of his mother.

She wore #8 when she played for Dynamo Moscow's women's basketball team.

Ovi also wore #32 while playing for Dynamo Moscow and still writes '32' on his

shoulder pads under his Caps jersey.

Yes, there is a book about Alex Ovechkin.

after he scores a goal his signature move is to pretend his stick is on fire and too hot to touch. he crouches down to the floor where his stick is then he moves his hands up and down pretending its on fire or too hot to touch!
