It seems silly to bet against this guy who just does not seem to be slowing down as he gets older. I am sure it will happen at some point, but I also think that Ovechkin is skilled and smart enough to make the necessary adjustments to stay successful. It sure seems to be working.

Actually, it seems silly to bet against father time.
Ovechkin has not slowed down at all yet - much to his credit. But it remains a safe bet that he will.
