Well, Ovechkin may well be the wunderkind he was made out to be. He scored twice in his first NHL game, including the game-winning goal against the Blue Jackets at MCI. While it wasn’t a sell-out, only 2,000 seats were empty tonight, perhaps giving the folks in management a few positive vibes for the season. Amazingly enough, all five goals in the game were scored in a ten minute span in the middle of the 2nd period. Looks like the new offense rules are working…sort of.
Congrats to Alexander Ovechkin on his first two goals (and one of them a game winner), welcome to DC, Alexander, keep up the good work and the town will reward you with anonymity. Fail us, though, and you’ve seen what we do to politicians we don’t like? It’s worse for sports figures. Ask Marty Schottenheimer or maybe even Steve Spurrier.
