yeah, i remember pete peters. but my favorite caps goalie ever is olaf kolzig. dino was a fan fave as well, never cared much for hunter. best caps player tho for years-rod langway. mike gartner was awesome as well-they retired his number, something i don't see happening with dino. i think everyone's favorite tho was peter bondra. i've seen him in the stands at a few games this year.
but ovechkin is simply amazing. if i had to use one word to describe him, it would be 'fearless'. that hit on jagr (former cap for a bit, would love to see him come back to the nhl-and bring federov with him!) the other day was incredible. guys have said jagr is and has been the hardest guy to get off a puck-alex made it look easy.
his goal (and the play he made to get the scoring opporunity) against montreal last year was amazing-but 'the goal' he got vs phoenix-you have to see it to believe it.
