Washington Capitals coach compared Ovechkin to a bull
Peter Laviolette considers the Russian's unpredictability to be a remarkable trait.
Washington Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette said his love of creativity on the ice helps Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin.
"Ovechkin loves the game. He wants to be on the ice, he wants to change the game, he wants to create," TSN quoted him as saying.
Laviolette added that Ovechkin is notable for his unpredictable actions during a game.
"Sometimes you just can't guess exactly what he's going to do: he gets close fast, he's very strong. That's a really strong man, a real bull," the coach said.
