The best player in the NHL


The best player in the NHL

          Have you ever wondered who the best player in the NHL is?  The best player needs to deek shoot and score.  He also needs to be able to play all the positions.  Well it is Alexander Ovechkin and he is the best because he has the record for the most goals in a single game which is five and I don’t think it will be broke anytime soon.

He has the most goals in a single season only next to Wayne Gretzky who is the best at hockey and changed the sport forever.  Ovechkin was the best rookie in 2006 With 52 goals and 54 assist in a single season.  Wayne Gretzky scored a total of 76 goals in his rookie season and his record is still around and might not be passed next year or the year after that.  Ovechcian’s best game was against the Vancouver Canucks where he scored five goals.  Wayne Gretzky’s best game was in 1993 against the Los Angeles kings it was I the playoff’s when Gretzky stepped up and took control of the game in the first period there were no goals scored.  In the second Gretzky scores three goals and takes it on to win the game. 

The biggest competition to Ovechkin right now is Sydney Crosby who is out for the season and the team he play’s for is out of the playoffs.  Ovechkin’s team the Washington Capitals are still in the playoffs and are doing quite well they have the series tied with the rangers 1-1.  The last game the Capitals won against the rangers Ovechkin scored the game winning goal to tie the series.  The head coach for the Washington Capitals is playing Ovechkin less because he wants the players to have equal playing time.  Which is not the best for Ovechkin because he loves to play on the ice as much as possible.  His favorite saying is “practice does not make perfect only perfect practice makes perfect”.  Wayne Gretzky’s famous saying is “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t make”.

This is why I wonder who the best player in the NHL is and I think it is Alexander Ovechkin.  His stats prove he is the best there is now in the NHL.
