| 25th March, 2009 - 10:33 am |  NHL.com - Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin isn't going to apologize for celebrating after scoring his 50th goal of the season last week.
Following the goal, he put his stick on the ice and pretend to warm his hands over it.
"If you win the lottery - a million dollars - you go to the bar and drink a lot," Ovechkin said Tuesday. "I scored 50 goals and I just celebrated."
Many people, most notably Don Cherry, have criticized Ovechkin for what they believed to be showmanship.
"It's good for our league, it's good for our fans," Ovechkin said. "Some players are just like robots. They score goals and it's like OK, no emotion, nothing, they basically go OK. You have to show emotion if you're an emotional guy - show it.
"You don't have to think about if somebody doesn't like it. I don't care about it if somebody (doesn't) like it. I play myself, I enjoy my life, I've enjoyed my whole career. If somebody (doesn't) like it, don't watch my game, don't watch what I'm doing on the ice." [READ] |
