Alex Ovechkin: NHLPA poll: Ovechkin most difficult to stop

According to a poll of 318 NHL players conducted jointly by the NHLPA and CBC, Alex Ovechkin is the most difficult player for goalies to stop.

The results showed that 27% of goaltenders voted Ovie as the toughest to stop, while Sidney Crosby was a close second at 24%. We suspect that if this poll had been conducted a year ago, Ovechkin would have received a much larger portion of the votes.

The fact that he led the voting despite suffering through a down season is an indication of the respect the rest of the players have for his skills.
