As for Don Cherry, he just doesn't care for European players too much. There is something to the fact that there has only been one team in history captained by a European that has won the cup, Lidstrom last year with the Red Wings. But Ovechkin still is the best player in the league, and if he feels like a little hot-dogging when he scores his 50th of the year, so be it. Not many players are pulling that off anymore.
As for fighting, it is a necessary part of the game, I just think it's kind of lame with all these 'staged' fights, planned to happen before the game by the two opposing players, the spontaneity is lost, and too much of a good thing has it's appeal lost.
