Alex Ovechkin: Diver?

There's no doubting the talents of Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin.

In fact, many in the hockey world believe he is the true face of the NHL, and not rival Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby.

"Crosby's a diver," fans cry out.

"Ovechkin plays the game the right way," the masses say.

Of course, that doesn't brandish Ovechkin a saint. It also doesn't mean he's never guilty of embellishment, as we saw Monday night when the Capitals played the New York Rangers.
