Ovechkin needs to have many kids. He's got extremely athletic genes in his family.
people complain about his celebrations, but to me that just shows the love of the game, and how can you deny anyone that
YES I missed this show the other night thanks for uploading Mr Stroumboulopoulos.
Peace,
James
Yay! Luongo is amazing! Hopefully he will do well tonight! We love you too, Alex! haha
You can see he has a tongue-in-cheek style of humor and sounds honest without sounding obnoxious, and that's probably because of his endearing personality. Give him a few years to improve his language and he'll be a great person to interview.
Favorite NHL player and favorite interview program.
Maybe the old footage wasnt him for some reason?
yea that difficult opponent question was spot on. 2012 bruins-caps series i recall chara really shutting down ove for alot of the series (i think ove really got on the goal sheet in game 6). and as far as luongo goes yup that's true as well. ove got a penalty shot vs luongo this season but was stoned. funny to see ove's insight into certain players that he plays against.
as a canadian love to see gold come home again, but ove will try his best to light up luo to win gold in his home country. cant wait!
He looks so shy! I love this guy
your right it is a world wide game but Canadians sure do love it more with pride!
Legend. Personally I just feel lucky that any given game I can watch at least 1 bonafide superstar, the talent in the league is amazing and Ovie is (in my opinion) the best of em all.
Awwwwn, he's so cute. Ovi is my big bear. ;)
He is amazing as could be
i love him
you see thats what i like... hes living the dream... and he knows it..
I love him
Ovechkin is so fucking sick. This video is great; thanks for posting.
One of the greatest athletes right now.
The Hour always has the best hosts!
Keep it up George Stroumboulopoulos I hope you still have your show when I'm famous... we should chill :D
whats the song at 0:13?
since the change in the NHL (post-lockout) there is no way we can ever compare the players we see to those in the history books ever again. Gretzky, Orr, Howe, etc are one breed and Ovi, Malkin, Crosby, etc will have to be considered a different breed. The game has changed, the numbers need to be considered as different too.
lol "because i'm cheap" ovechkin is so funny.
Alexander is so funny and charming.
He has a winning personality. Best player right now.
i noticed that too
lol i have to give it up, you made me look
I love how people are like still talking shit about who won the 2010 Olympics when Ovie said it was a joke. Grow up.
@CrazymaniacFreak
1) You do realize assists also come off rebounds too?
2) If Crosby shot the puck as often as Ovie does, I'm pretty damn sure they'd be way closer in goals scored.
your my idol
top chap
the key to success is yours IF your willing to pay the price!!!!!!!!!
He is Russian and his heart lies there so thats commendable! He likes joking around! Awesome hockey player!
His birthday is one day before mine. Cool.
@EpicfailProd I know, However someone was implying here that the amount of Ovie's assists imply that he's as good as Crosby at playmaking.
What are you talking about Crosby was asked to play in Russia for 8 mill CAD a season, and he would have if the lock-out was still alive he would have played there. The Average salary for them is $300 000 American, pretty above average for a semi-pro hockey league.
Nothing else needs to ever be typed about modern hockey. Well put.
i could say the same thing about hasek and canada in 1998. it took a shootout and a benched gretzky to stop canada from advancing.
12 minutes seems kinda short for an hour lol
Yeah it's true, it's a shame but the media tends to make a big thing about such small deals. There are some players who are awesome at interviews, Jeremy Roenick for example, Brett Hull too and Patrick Roy.. always honest.
Firstly you gotta give a huge credit to this guy just simply because he is one of the best Icehockey players in the world, secondly he speaks English, and I am sure that he is pretty much good at it + Aleks is very funny guy, even on different lenguage, he is well self-educated, which is pretty much respectfull. And considering others comments like Canada will OWE Russia.. I think you already just called urself an idiot by saing that. ;-)
Россия, мы с тобой!!!
For sure is Gonna be Canada vs Russia at Vancouver Final... Ovechkin, Malkin, Kovalchuck = Insane First Line..
Maybe in English, I wish I understood Russian inorder to see if he is good at interviews in Russian..
Either way, one thing I like is that he doesnt give out cliche answers during interviews like "all the bounces are way"
What 124 Million dam i`d love to get that!
@artiem222 I meant people who are currently in the game.
why was he a lefty in his earlier years?
dude, Gretzky had a LONG career. Ovechkin's only been in the nhl for like 4 seasons so far.
YEEAHHH CAPS!!
Stroumboulopoulos is a fuckin awsome family name
Ovechkin rule
It's understandable, though. In 72, the USSR had only 2 right hand shots, if memory serves. So if you find footage from 20-30 years ago, that's what you'll see.
holy, did he switch shooting hands?
Best one-dimensional player in the world.
lmao "cause im cheap thats y i dont want a agent"
OVECHKIN!
me too:P
"they didn't say good luck" lol
Luuuuuuuuuuu!
Don't forget the captain.
The best player in the NHL
Mike Richards.
And I'm an American.
ya man he still scored on Bobny Lu everytime he faced him
i read this stat a couple years ago about the percentage of people who play organized hockey in the major 7 hockey countries, and i remember being shocked at how few the number of russians was. don't quote me, but canada was at like 16% or something, whereas russia was at 3%. it was surprising low. it seems like russians care more about soccer, really.
Yeah, Gretz scored way more goals on way less shots. Most players score more goals on less shots these days, considering Ovie ranks lower than 100th in the NHL in shooting percentage, as of this past season. He just shoots about 200 more times than any other player, and finishes about 10 goals ahead of the next guy.
Nobody will ever touch Gretzky's career records.
chuckb
Yeah, he will. he has
Gretzky could never have set those records in todays game. Ovechkin doesn't need Semenko or McSorely. to open up the ice for him.
This aged well :D
I love it. Ovechkin is for real. Sitting in Toronto throwin diggs at us Canadians. 2010 will come and we will see. Canada generally sucks at the olympics, our boys are gonna have to step up to beat the Russians. It will be awesome!
And it was lol
His "goal" was during his rookie season, not his second season
I remembered when he interviewed Jason Blake or maybe it was another guest, Stroumbo said something like, he/she's good at (insert whatever he/she does) but he's not just good at that or else he wouldn't be on the show... I somehow feel that they could have tried to fetch somebody else for an interview aside from AO. I mean yeah of course he is currently the no1 or no2 player in the world right now, but still I thought this show wasn't all about popularity.
Love the show, the interview with AO, but i would have preferred that they didn't steer the show too much towards entertainment only.
He was very monotone, but good interview.
He was once a lefty? Wtf
Oates had him switch to the right wing. Oates likes his players to play on the side that they shoot with.
1) Datsyuk
2) Ovechkin
3) Crosby
Like I said...give it time.
send ovechkin to south ossetia
lol he gives him a habs shirt :P
i wish the ads were short pornos
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
When it comes to Alex Ovechkin, who CARES whether or not Russia or Canada is more superior in hockey?( Well, I'll say Canada, but Russia & Sweden aren't far behind so better watch out for those guys:-) )
Only thing that matters is that AO is one of the BEST hockey players in the game, & it's great for hockey & for the league; going to fun times watching AO rise to superstardom in hockey:-)
OH, & congrats to AO, 2008 NHL MVP:-D
We're the same age. I will never have $4 million. I feel so inadequate.
for 12 years
I like malkin :)
Omfg, Alexander Ovechkin is so hot...
Dammit i ment to say Guest!
i remember that Jason Blake episode, Jason kicked George's ass in the cold opening
Ovechkin and Kovalchuk both have a chance to reach Gretzky's career goal total- 897 I believe. It is very unlikely but considering their ages and apparent durability it's not out of the question.
Dang man, kovalchuk bolted but you were right on the money about Ovi
He's gonna wear that necklace in 2010?
Oh, this shit is on now Ovie. And we will NOT screw up at home twice.
after the final game.
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
@purple0wnzx My best friend is born on the 17th but 6 years later. For his next birthday I'm going to write happy birthday Ovechkin on his wall :P
russia is technically a "developing/emerging economy". the EU, USA and canada are "developed economies" (former first world). russia is categorized by economists with other developing countries like mexico, india, brazil and south africa. with its unemployment and inflation levels, and growth almost entirely dependent on its oil reserves, it is much closer to what was called the third world during the cold war (now the underdeveloped and developing world) than the first world.
i think he's talking about the host...george..
stroumboulopoulos
i love him!!!! im canadian and i wouldnt mind having some russian in me!!! ha ha...lol
@quickv Wayne Gretzky didnt have the training tools that we have nowadays. Ovechkins super-human strength isnt natural you know.
that was because canada was not allowed to send professional hockey players to the olympics, but the soviets could, because their elites were not considered "professionals"
yay go canadians ao is awesome too though
2008 IIHF World Ranking:
1. can

gold: can
silver: rus
2008 World U-17 Hockey Challenge
gold: can
5th place: rus
@nhllover885 i'm a canadian but i don't think that Miller is your own strength, the only other guy i can think of is Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks (I would say Phil Kessel but i can't because i cheer for Ottawa)
...why they all start to play left ? :P
are you the guy who sent the death threat to AO? or are you just pissed cuz crysby was supposed to be the shoe in for the rookie of the year and AO rightfully crapped down his throat? huge Wild fan but AO has to be the most dynamic player in the league. AO's time will come. nuf said.
Ovechkin is the best! I love european players. But thts cuz i am european
i dont understand why cant he wear a tooth guard? please explain...otherwise he'd be fine
Yea I realized that immediately after posting lmao
Ovie fears Luoie .....
