from Johnny Testa of AskMen,
With Ovechkin preparing to defend his Breakaway Challenge title, AM took the opportunity to ask him for some tips on how to successfully score on a breakaway.
A defenseman comes up behind you and trips you up and the referee awards you a penalty shot. What’s the first thing that goes through your head?
I have to score. That is the one thing I think of the most.
How do you decide what move you are going to choose for the penalty shot?
That depends on the goalie playing and how the goalie was playing during the game. Based on that, I pick my shot and try to make some moves on the goalie to get him to move and open up.

Wow, that was actually about scoring goals. Not the kind of scoring I had imagined AskMen would ask about.
