Highlights include:
- On Alexander Ovechkin: "I really like Ovechkin. He plays like you have to play hockey. He has speed, he shoots, he hits… I think that he is the best player in the world."
- On Team Russia at the World Championships: "I am always impressed when a team plays strongly and with passion. This might be the influence of Ovechkin."
- On Sergei Fedorov (sort of): "He is good. Fedorov, Larionov—I like them. But Ovechkin stands alone. He is following in Bure’s footsteps—the best Russian."

1) Few could/would disagree that Ovechkin was the best player in the NHL this past season
2) Also have to wonder if Cherry's not so hidden dislike for Crosby influenced this observation a tad as well?
That's high praise coming from Sir Don.
Those visor wearing Euro softies... At least they've got talent.
