Guest Hi Alex -- So far in the NHL, who has been the player you played against who has most impressed you?
Alexander Ovechkin Peter Forsberg, because he is one of the best passers I've ever seen and he's so good. Scott Hannan from San Jose and Andrei Markov from Montreal are the toughest defenders I've had to play against.

belfourfan What is your favourite city on the road?
Alexander Ovechkin Montreal has been my favorite so far. New York is good too.

Streit may have wheels, but he's a complete train wreck defensively, which is what I'm sure you're referring to as his "faults." Maybe with some more NHL experience he'll get better in his own end and around his own net, but I'd like to see him get a rear-view mirror to go with those wheels so that he can see all the guys right behind him in the slot who are about to bury one while his attention is elsewhere.

Yeah, and Dandenault too, he's a good skater. Wheels aren't really the problem in Montreal. It's quick and smart decision-making, vision, passing skills, size and guts.
