You know, I honestly could go either way. I think the talk of direct Sid vs. Ovi rivalry has died down a lot, and honestly as far as I can tell it was mostly manufactured by the media to begin with. They're such different players, and they don't even play the same position. So I would be surprised if Sid gives much thought one way or the other to Alexander Ovechkin: Personal Rival. I suspect he gives a lot more thought to Alexander Ovechkin: Key Player for Division Rival.

That said, all their differences in both hockey and personality (ESPECIALLY personality) make them a really fun ship. :)
