| Alex OVECHKIN (oh-VEHCH-kihn, al-EHX) |
Washington Capitals |

Florida GM and head coach Jacques Martin: "He's the type of player who brings fans out of their seats. He's spectacular to watch. You have to know when he's on the ice. He's the type of player who's excellent one on one. He likes to drive wide, go to the net."
Washington GM George McPhee: "He's Pavel Bure in Mark Messier's body."
Phoenix Coyotes head coach Wayne Gretzky: "I don't know if I've seen a player like him. He's a combination of Mike Bossy's scoring ability and Mark Messier's power, with a bit of Kenny Linseman's speed thrown in. You can't knock him over and you can't out-skate him."
New York Rangers forward Brendan Shanahan: "What a great, great kid. What is there not to like with a kid who is extremely driven like Alex? Everyone knows about the great speed, the moves and unbelievable hands to score like he has. But what I like most about him is his passion for the game, passion for the stage. He competes. Gets his nose dirty. He hits and gets hit and pops right back up again with a big smile on his face."
