Is Alex Ovechkin Like A-Rod?

WASHINGTON -- Led by Jaroslav Halak's spectacular, acrobatic goaltending, the Montreal Canadiens slowed Alex Ovechkin and the rest of the Washington Capitals' high-powered offense to complete an unlikely comeback and eliminate the NHL's best regular-season team in the first round. Halak made 41 saves, Marc-Andre Bergeron scored a 4-on-3 goal in the last 30 seconds of the opening period Wednesday night, and eighth-seeded Montreal held on to beat Washington 2-1 in Game 7, stunning the Presidents' Trophy winners by reeling off three consecutive victories. The Canadiens are the ninth No. 8 team to knock off a No. 1 in 32 matchups since the NHL went to its current playoff format in 1994 -- and the first to come back from a 3-1 series deficit.

You either love or hate the guy right? And most people hate him so he's on that A-rod level. His Caps just got through blowing a 3-1 lead to Montreal, the #8 seed. I think A-roid and the Yanks once blew to a 3-0 lead in the ALCS. I think. I'm not quite sure on that. Memory is still a little fuzzy from 2004. But back to Ovechkin. Dude can't win the big one. When push comes to shove, he's no where to be found. Wasn't Russia supposed to win the gold medal and Canada romped the shit out of them? I'm just saying if you want to be remembered as one of the best then you gotta give people a reason to remember you. Somewhere Sidney Crosby is dancing around his crib and singing My Cherie Amour. You guys don't do that when you're really happy?
