Any icehockey fans on RAT?

Yes! Ovečkin is also excellent player. A little bit individualistic, but the best shooters need to have the puck a little more often.

Yes, I agree. Think about Ilya Kovalchuk, calling him a little bit selfish is an understatement! Also Maxim Afinogenov is skating with a very good speed and awesome skills until he`ll eventually loses the puck. At least in the world championships :wink: !

It'll be interesting to see how Canada's hockey evolves in the next few years...

I think the future is bright! You have young very talented players whose skill levels are very high. I think that hockey nowadays is a very good mix of skill & grit.... If someone had prophecied to me five years ago about these changes in the NHL, I can hardly think about my reaction to such a silly suggestion!
