Ovechkin scores another amazing goal

Everybody and I mean everybody (WPGC?!) has already linked to TSN (Canada’s ESPN more or less) video of Alex Ovechkin’s first period goal last night. It is simply sensational what he did — picking off a pass, bouncing it off the boards backhanded, change directions without losing any speed and then scoring on his [...]

Ovechkin doing it again

ESPN discovered this weekend that Alex Oveckin is the NHL’s true rock star. Here in D.C. we discovered this too — about three years ago during his rookie season. Next week ESPN will tell us that Gilbert Arenas can be quirky when he is healthy.
Ovi had another big All-Star weekend, winning the breakaway competition.

Yes, that [...]

Caps still in it after comeback, Ovechkin’s 60th

Caps’ Late Rally Stokes Playoff Hope – The Post
The comeback began with 8 minutes 30 seconds to play, when Ovechkin flipped a rebound over goalie Kari Lehtonen to cut the Thrashers’ lead to 3-2. It was the 22-year-old Russian’s second goal of the game and made him the first Capital to reach the 60-goal plateau [...]

Ovechkin does it again! Caps beat Boston 10-2

Alex Ovechkin had a bit of a “slump” in February, going seven games without a goal. He has gotten March off to a roaring start, scoring a natural hat trick in the first period of Washington’s 10-2 win over the Bruins. He also added two assists for a five point night. Nicklas Backstrom scored a [...]

More Ovechkin: "He’s getting killed out there!" ‘No, he’s getting MAD!’

I need to amend Alex Ovechkin’s stat line:
4 goals, 5 points, 24:52, 5 hits, 6 shots, +4, 1 broken nose, stitches (we don’t know how many yet)
Sound starts about :30 in
“Today was special day,” said Ovechkin, who has scored three or more goals four times in his career, but not at home until last night’s [...]

Ovechkin!

I have never had to buy a ticket to watch hockey’s great players. The truly great ones keep you young, but I’ve got to admit that on some nights I would pay to watch Alexander Ovechkin.
On most nights, he is everything this beautiful game is all about. Spectacular goals. A blur on skates. Never gives [...]

Ovechkin’s contract is a 13 year monster

You have to give it to Ted Leonsis, he’s got guts signing Alex Ovechkin to such a huge contract, both in terms of years (13) and dollars ($124 million).
“I’m a risk-taker,” Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said. “And if you’re going to make a long-term investment, who else would you do it with?”
I’m blown away. It [...]

NHL in Beaver Stadium?

I always through it would be pretty cool if there was a “battle for Pennsylvania” at Penn State’s Beaver Stadium between the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers. Now I find out from Eric McErlain of Fanhouse that the Flyers are considering hosting the Pengyunz at Beaver Stadium next season. Michigan State did this in [...]
