Dirty player? wow, i can't believe you went there. One bad play and your putting Ovey into that catagory and yet after all the cheap slashes Crosby does per game, you still think Ovey is the worse of the two? c'mon man, give your head a shake; your still falling for the whole TSN story of when the two met in the world juniors and Crosby was jesus and Ovey was Satan.
Seriously, dude... You really think it's one thing I've based my judgment on?
Ovey has delivered plenty of cheap shots, clotheslines and slew-foots... the kind of stuff you figured you'd see mostly from the "goons". He has avoided plenty of suspensions that would have gotten other players in deep shit, but it's the NHL where superstars are god and almost never get suspended and Ovey takes advantage of that much moreso than any other star player I've seen.
There is no doubting his skills with the puck. It's his actions without it that I call him a dirty player for, much like I would any other player who does it. All he needs is the "WWWOOOOOOO" and he'll be the Ric Flair of the NHL.
