Just ask the All-star selection committee from the 2013 season. I believe Ovie was the first player to get voted on as both a RW and LW, haha.

But yes, you're right that he played RW for the last two seasons.
Zetterberg also has played almost exclusively as a centre since the 05 lockout.
When he and Datsyuk are on the same line, it's Dats that plays the wing.

In that case, I think Hall and Benn are the two best LWers in the world right now.

86, tops. There's no way he's more than that.

Oh, I forgot that the only thing that matters is regular season statistics.

Ovechkin is a loser, always will be a loser. No team will ever win the Cup with him on the roster. He cares more about international play than winning the Stanley Cup. It takes a special kind of douche to score 50 something goals and still be minus 30whatever.

I am more concern about how close they are ranked from each other! This is what EA wants is for us to debate who should be higher or lower.

I think they will play all the same and not close to their actual counterparts. I am now more concern that these players will play like other lower ranked F/D/G.

I hate how people act like he's one of the best players in the league. He's not. I hate it when attention goes to losers like him. So he puts up big goal totals in the regular season, big deal. Look at the shiny colors, wooo. I would take Patrick Kane over Ovechkin 150 times out of 100. I would take Justin Williams over Ovechkin. There is a laundry list of players I would take over Alexander Ovechkin. What kind of a "superstar" gets benched for pretty much an entire playoff series, because his team doesn't trust him on the ice??

This is how I feel about Ovechkin:



I know overalls aren't everything, but it's annoying for me to see him be the #1 rated left winger in the game. Whatever though.

Any player who scores 400 goals in his first 9 seasons is a one of the best at his position regardless of your thoughts on him. It's easy to say Patrick Kane/Justin Williams is a better player when they play on two of the best teams in the NHL (even though Ovie is a better pure goal scorer than both). Put either of those guys on the Caps and put Ovie on the Hawks/Kings and you would be praising him. I would take Ovie on the Bruins in a heartbeat and I would give up every player except Bergeron and Rask to get him. He is a rare talent in the NHL.
