Several weeks ago, after his team beat Georgia, South Carolina’s football coach Steve Spurrier said that sometimes the team that plays the best game doesn’t win. That was clearly the case last evening at the Verizon Center.

Alex Ovechkin wasn't thrilled about not being on the ice in the waning minutes of Tuesday night's game against the Anaheim Ducks. Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau justified sitting him by saying that he didn't think Ovechkin would score the tying goal. Weird thought seeing as though Ovie has scored 50+ goals in three of the past four seasons. What'd Ovie think of...

With 1:27 remaining in their game against the Anaheim Ducks, and trailing 4-3, Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau called timeout to draw up how his team might go about tying the game in order to send it to overtime. Surprisingly, Boudreau’s plans didn’t include resident superstar Alexander Ovechkin.

The incident was all over D.C. sports blogs, and D.C. sports talk radio, and national hockey Web sites, which wasn’t terribly surprising to me, even if some fans...
