Why he might be annoying:

    He was drafted by the Capitals in 2004, but couldn't play with the team until 2005 because of the NHL lockout.
    Because his initials are A.O., Capitals fans sing ‘A.O., Let's Go!' to the tune of The Ramones' ‘Blitzkrieg Bop.'
    He received far less attention than Sidney Crosby during their rookie season.
    He wears a mirrored visor while playing.
    He is missing a front tooth.
    He has been accused of showboating.
    He frequently jumps into the glass after scoring goals.
    He draws the ire of other players for his excessive goal scoring celebrations.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the first rookie named to the NHL's first team in 15 years.
    His brother died in a car accident.
    He scored two goals in his first ever NHL game, leading to a 3-2 Capitals win.
    He made an unbelievable goal against Phoenix where he shot and scored by hooking the puck with one hand while sliding on his back and facing away from the net (January 16, 2006). Bill Clement called it the greatest goal he's ever seen.
    He was the lone bright spot on an awful Capitals team.
    He beat out the overhyped Sidney Crosby to win Calder Memorial Trophy in 2006.
    He brought relevancy to a Capitals franchise, making them a major draw in the D.C. area.
    He is the first Capitals player to win the Hart, Art Ross and Rocket Richard trophies.
    He is the first Russian born captain of the Capitals franchise.
