Alex The "8"...Simply Sensational!!!

When even Wayne Gretzky can be blown away by the sight of Alex Ovechkin, wouldn't you think the hockey world ought to be paying SOME attention to what we Capitals fans (in the DC and surrounding areas, as well) already know???

NO urgency for this team, and I don't know WHY

     Once again, for the third straight game, I've seen absolutely no sense of urgency for the Capitals. None whatsoever.
     I mean, just because the Caps are sitting atop the Southeast Division doesn't mean that they should set everything on "cruise" control these next 5 weeks of the regular season. You want to sit here and make the excuse Alex Ovechkin wasn't there tonight, and that's the reason they lost?? Fine.

Story from a rather odd Sabres blog that's worth a read.http://sabrechaser.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-alexander-ovechkin-stole-my-heart.html Meanwhile, Ovechkin needs 10 goals and 27 assists to reach 200 for his career in each category. Ovechkin has 363 career points in 283 regular-season games. Remarkably, despite missing 2 games, it's not out of the question that Ovechkin could reach 500 shots on goal this season. He has 240 through his 38 games played. If he keeps that pace, he'd be at 480 for 76 games, leaving just 20 needed in the last four games.500 shots is ...…
