I remember reading an article in THN a while back where Ovie and Crosby posed for the cover photo together. When the shoot had finished, it was Crosby who took off his jersey and offered to trade w/ Ovie ("shyly," if memory serves). Combine that with the fact he's been in the spotlight since he first put on skates and has been coached in what to say and when to say it better then Nuke LaLoosh has been--it's no wonder everything that comes out of his mouth is some variation of, "I'm just here to help the team."

I think that Ovechkin manages to have fun in everything that he does. I think you are right that Crosby would not have this much fun. He just seems like he lets the weight of all the pressure on him make him so guarded and boring. I think he needs to hang out with Ovechkin and Company a little bit and just relax.

Ovie (and the others) just kill me. That poor tour guide. So true, victor- Crosby would have to have a personality before he’d be able to do something like that.

Can you imagine Crosby doing anything like that, and being funny while doing it? No, neither can I. "Girls, where are you? I can't find you." BWAH-HA-HA-HA!!! Man, Ovie is great.

“Girls, where are you? I can’t find you.” BWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

I've added text below the images as well. All three images were rather large and I reduced them for the blog as well as combining the top two images into one.

That second one just about made me spew coffee all over my desk. I think I'd be terrified if I saw that coming at me. Off-topic, but that dude seriously needs to get a haircut.
