A scoring decline has left Alex Ovechkin looking rather unworthy of the 13-year, $124 million contract he signed in 2008. Perhaps we can blame the slump on his burgeoning rap career. Last September Ovechkin created a stir when it became known the Washington Capitals superstar would contribute a verse on Sasha Belyi’s rap song, Champion. (Those of you who get Russian MTV on...

There is very little that Alexander Ovechkin has not accomplished in his seven year NHL career. He has won countless awards, ranging from the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year), Hart Memorial Trophy (MVP), and he has just been selected to his fifth NHL All-Star game.

The Washington Capitals laid another tremendous egg on Friday night, falling at the hands of the cellar-dwelling Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 inside RBC center. Tomas Vokoun made 30 saves in a very solid performance, but Jussi Jokinen scored twice and Jiri Tlusty added a third as the Caps failed to pick up any momentum from their win over the Canadiens on Wednesday. It was the second...

Braving cold and ice on a frigid January evening, many patrons of the Bell Center simply couldn't muster the courage to stomach the entire 60 minute performance that was the Washington Capitals 3-0 shutout over the home-town favorites.
Though I couldn't blame many for departing early, I do take exception with the idea that the Canadiens played a poor game...
