On Crosby:
“What can I say about Crosby?” he said. “He is a good player, but he talks too much. I play hard and if he wants to hit me, he can hit me, not talk to you guys about who plays cheap and who plays dirty. That’s my game… If he doesn’t like it, it’s his problem.”
“What, I can’t play hard against him? What is he going to do, cry?”
Cute, young reporter: "Which one is better? NHL or Superleague?"
Ovechkin: "NHL, because after practice, pretty girl come to me. I give interview. I feel good." [wink] [smile]
