ovi's power outage

So who would have guessed at this point in the season Alex Ovechkin would be 22nd in the league in goals for with 19???  No one could have seen this coming.  Washington led the league in goal scoring last year with 313 goals, yet the entire team is having difficulty putting the puck in the net this season.  The stat that is the most surprising to me is Ovechkin's PPG total thus far: TWO GOALS!  Are you kidding me? Not to mention these two power play goals were scored 13 seconds apart from each other in a blowout of the Calgary Flames.  I watched the Montreal Washington game on TSN last night and Ray Ferraro on many different occasions pointed out Ovechkin's body language.  He was seen waving for the puck, and when he didn't receive it he would throw his hands up in frustration, turn around and half ass his backcheck like he was Zach Moe.  This is not something you want to see out of your star player, never mind your captain.  I personally do not think he should be the captain of this team.  I am aware that he is responsible for probably half the ticket sales and over half the jersey sales in Washington, but this is more about the team than the fans.  A captain needs to go out and lead by example, and play hard on both ends of the ice.  Ovi doesn't do this.  If I were Boudreau I would give the C to a guy like Brooks Laich.  It seems Ovi is constantly putting himself above the team, and I feel this has disrupted their chemistry.  Mike Green is having an off season.  So is Backstrom.  This team is clicking when Ovechkin is at the top of his game.  He is the key to their success, and he needs to pick it up if the Caps have any hope of competing with Pittsburgh, Philly, and Boston in the East.
