Alex Ovechkin: The Oskar Kokoshka of Sports

Look at this.

The "face" of the NHL.

We have all seen the .gif of Ovi not moving against the Rangers almost as if someone was playing NHL 14 and they're controller disconnected. Well it happened again Tuesday night in the Caps 5-0 blowout loss to the Stars. The Caps are 1 game out of the Playoffs and won't make it playing like that. Every other team has a push. They know they're destined to fail. 

He is DEAD LAST in the entire league in plus/minus. So technically, you can say he is the least productive player in the NHL. The league leader in goals. The worst team player.

Nobody questions his talent. He is arguably still the most talented player in the world. But the most prestigious individual award in sports goes to the most valuable player 'to his team'. The player who allows more goals than scores more than any other player is far from it.

There are two major figures of a sport that certainly needs it. The other one is a girl trapped in a man's body who isn't nearly as fun to watch as Ovi, and his team is even less fun to watch win. Hockey fans everywhere should hope Alex The Great wakes up one day, before his inevitable return to Russia.

Lazy people don't usually become famous with the exception of Paris Hilton and the entire Kardashian family. So we will just compare him to Oskar, the "Hey Arnold" character who liked to eat pickles. Fitting since they're both communists.
