Sometime I enjoy going to Verizon Center to watch Alexander Ovechkin to play.

Well, authentic ya cant have both worlds of all... sure the first generation of Soviet players came over to play in the NHL, they sure paved the way for the next generations of Russian players to come over and play in the NHL .. .like Ovechkin, Pavel Datsyuk, Ilya Kovalchuk, and more to entertain us for years to come...
As for the boring style of the NHL play, that is the case in the USA (southern part) but the rest of the USA along with Canada fans are happy and excited to see hockey playing and more... one thing that was brought over from the international hockey community was the shootout (used in the Olympics) which I thought at first was a bad idea but it has warmed me over to that.. the shootout is perfect for breaking ties in the regular season but that wont even be used in the playoffs as we prefer long overtime sessions to keep us on the edges of our couchs rooting hard... that what I want to see leave as is for the playoffs.... I'm sorry ya dont see the NHL as exciting as I do, as I have been watching NHL hockey since 1987 on tv (7 of them I have gone to see in person at arenas) and I do enjoy watching games on tv for both NHL, junior hockey and international hockey competitions such as the popular Christmas tourny the World Junior Hockey championships for juniors under the 20 age group which I have see my beloved Team Canada win gold medals (they are currently the 4 time defending WJC champs as they have won from 2005, 2006, 2007 and now 2008)... it's great to see international hockey all over and see how my Canadian players do well enough or so!
