Yeah, he always struck me as the typical Russian primadonna, who obviously does one thing incredibly well... and while Gretzky hold the goals and assists record, Ovechkin isn't even in the top 50 in all time assists.
One playoffs a few years ago, he took a shot from his typical spot and it clean missed the net... he went down to his knees to pout about it as the puck went around the boards and the other way. And I though, damn that guy may never win a Cup. And of course that was the same year they won the Cup.
I think most people expected him to drop off to ~20 goals/season and for this to take at least another season if not two... crazy to think it could happen in the next month or so.
