If it's not this year, it seems safe to assume he will help the Caps hoist a Stanley Cup at least one time before his playing days are over! Nicki and Gordon:

There are so many things wrong with the redskins, the wizards can never catch a break and are now overhauling their entire team, and well baseball is not my thing. I used to get so excited watching the Wizards win 40+ games a season and make the playoffs. I felt a little betrayed as a fan when after winning 40+ games a season for a few years, they only won 19 last year, and of course Gilbert's stupidity. I was about to give up on team sports, but then i saw a glimmer of hope. The caps were playing the rangers in the first round of the stanley cup playoffs last year, and the way the caps fought back from a 3-1 hole to win the series showed me that there is hope for DC sports. I was never into hockey, but the Ovechkin led Capitals have won me over. I have watched every single game this year which is something i never did even during the pinnacle years of my wizards fascination. the way ovi can turn the game around with the flick of his wrist, or by a curl and drag, will never cease to amaze me. he is truly a human highlight real and will go down as the greatest DC athlete of all time. If he can stay healthy, he may even slip into discussion for being the greatest hockey player of all time. Ovi will definitely be a perennial MVP and will bring DC the championships it so longs for. Hopefully, this will be this year. The capitals have brought the excitement back into watching sports and have definitely transformed DC into a hockey town. Who knew that only a few decades removed from the cold war, the nations capital would be under the spell of a Russian.

The one concern I have about Ovie is that his style of play may hurt him in the long run, as going balls to the wall can only work for so long. His minutes on the ice are also a matter of concern but expect him to win or be in contention for the MVP for at least the next six to seven years before his body begins to break down. I pray to god that the city of Washington gets to see a championship in the form of the stanley cup, because ovie and the boys are the only championship material that is to be found in Washington. I'm glad someone besides myself has found a true demi god in the sports mantra known to all as Alex Ovechkin. Thank You and I really enjoy your blog as well.
