I'll let you guys read the whole thing but this is the good part:

"Moscow is a big city," Ovechkin told Idov. "It's all nerves -- something's always happening somewhere. D.C. is a quiet, calm, family town."

If he considers DC a "family town"...Moscow must be REALLY bad.

He was probably describing northern Virginia rather than DC itself.

Article was a good read. Always entertaining to read about Ovechkin. He definitely goes by the same rules and style on and off the ice!

Anyone one else notice the writer said: (paraphrasing) "In his first NHL game his only goal was to hit a goal, he ended up hitting two goals." After that the writer lost all his credibility. Besides that, it was a decent article, it was your typical Ovechkin is a Russian bad boy, living on the edge profile. The only interesting tid bit I picked up was that he grew up a Penguins fan as well as a Lemuiex fan. Kind of gives the whole rivalry a new tiny twist I didn't know about.

lol, I used to work for a team who had a woman do the write-ups for games and she had no idea about anything even remotely related to hockey. The most common phrase was "shot a goal". "Joe Smoe shot two goals tonight..."
