2007-08 The Cup Property Of #PO-AO

Although he’s continued to rack up numbers at a prodigious rate, Ovechkin has never again reached the heights of his third season. He led the league in both goals (65) and points (112), claiming the first of nine Rocket Richard Trophies and his only Art Ross Trophy. That this season should be represented by a relic card containing a piece of his stick is fitting. Not only has he used that tool better than almost anyone in history, but twigs have a special importance to him. Ovechkin is a rabid stick collector, hoarding as many as he can from elite opponents as well as from key moments in his own career.
