Alexander Ovechkin Forum

[Frenchy]

Here we go...as I watched the OLN channel last night before the Monday night game (Blackhawks vs Avelanche) there was a special on before the game about some of the retired great players (Hull, Orr, Cheevers...). Most of the stories that were featured were about courage and compassion for the game, not contracts and endorsements. I can see that the industry is waiting to put their hungry teeth into somebody, and I am sorry to say, they have set their sights on Mr. Ovechkin. We live in a society were money is everything and material wealth is revered. I am hoping Mr. Ovechkin already has enough money, just in his salary alone, to take care of his immediate family and his future family, and will not lose sight of his courage and compassion for the game of hockey. Hockey is Hockey, Business is Business...Frenchy Sends

P.S. If Mr. Ovechkin needs a manager/advisor please email me.

You make a good point Frenchy, but Ovechkin has said that it isn't about the money. If he wanted to make millions of dollars he could have stayed in Russia and done it. He's following his dream of playing in the NHL, and doing it well with courage and compassion for the game.
