What Ovie has in offense he lacks in defense

Alex Ovechkin is one of the most exciting players to watch in the NHL. His offense abilities are far beyond humanly possible.
Living in New Jersey, I don’t get to see his games much, but during the playoffs I get exposed to his true, but strictly offensive talent.
As I watched the Penguins-Capitals series I noticed whenever Ovechkin does not have the puck he just glides around the ice as though he is not trying. I was very upset to see this because if he played defense the way he plays offense he would be a much better all-around player.

“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
