How spot on is Ron MacLean's analysis of Ovechkin?
He is less than impressed and calls Ovechkin a "speciality act."
12:20 of the podcast BTW
Stevie....the question was meant to incite you and bring out the homer. I actually do agree with what MacLean says for the most part....even on the Thornton incident. it makes sense.

Agreed - he is a "specialty act".
Under certain circumstances, he is the deadliest sniper in the NHL.
Other times, like tonight, he is a ghost.
Russian players have often been called "enigmas" - maybe Ovi has stepped into
Semin's shoes.
When he is good, he is very, very good.

I agree mostly, however you have to score goals to win games.
I do however agree with Maclean's analysis that Ovechkin's game has not changed since he entered the league. Still a poor defender, still coasts in games, still leads the league in missed shots etc.
Oates has done a great job at putting Ovechkin in the position (moving him to RW has revitalized his scoring touch) to score like he has this season.

Ovie is a great goal scorer but thats all he's good at, everything else is supbar so basically when hes not scoring he's useless.
