Another thing with Ovechkin is that he has never shorted the game. He plays with full effort and tenacity. He doesn’t “load manage”. He goes out there every night and gives it his all.
For those that have never played hockey, taking and delivering the hits and contact has had throughout his career, it is not easy to withstand that for twenty years. He’s not a small player either. He is pretty much a Russian tank on skates.
