ALEXANDER OVECHKIN RUMORS

Ovechkin, Caps too much for Panthers

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Playing with a sense of urgency usually attached to a playoff game, the Washington Capitals needed only 13 seconds to take the lead in their first-place showdown with the Florida Panthers. Thanks to a strong goaltending performance by Tomas Vokoun, that was all the offense Washington needed in a 4-0 victory Tuesday night. Mathieu Perreault scored shortly after...

The Bruins have lost back-to-back games for the first time in nearly two months. On Sunday, they'll try to prevent suffering three straight defeats for the first time since October. They'll have to get through a Capitals team with star Alex Ovechkin back in the lineup to do that. Ovechkin returned Saturday but did not factor in any of Washington's goals in a 3-0 win at...

OVIE TIME!

Alexander Ovechkin's new $4.2 million mansion

Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin has some new digs. Ovechkin dropped $4.2 million on a home in McLean, Virginia earlier this month. The pad was listed for $4,395,000, so Ovechkin did a little wheeling and dealing for his new lair. Unfortunately, we’re not terribly impressed. Yeah, the place is big, but it doesn’t really have any of the stupid amenities...

Alex Ovechkin Passed on the All-Star Game to Hang Out With These Guys?

OK, so more than likely Ovechkin isn’t really hanging with these fellas, instead just taking the time to pose with them after they found him wandering on a Miami beach.  But that’s just assuming that Ovie has a higher class of friends than these guys.  I could be wrong—I mean, he is wearing camo shorts after all. Hard to blame Ovechkin for bailing on the NHL All...

Alex Ovechkin Enjoying Miami Beach Instead Of All-Star Festivities

Alex Ovechkin told the NHL he wouldn’t be attending the all-star game in Ottawa this weekend because, “My heart is not there. I got suspended, so why I have to go there?” At least the man is of his word and understands that Miami Beach is a much better option in January. A couple different groups of 20-somethings, including GiddyBang, yesterday took photos with the Russian...

The NHL violated the CBA with the Ovechkin suspension

Now, I don't know how the legality of this works, if it's the players union who should pursue action, Alexander Ovechkin or the Washington Capitals, but looking at the CBA Brendan Shanahan's ruling definitely violated the CBA. Ironically, it's the video he released that's the evidence of this violation. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not talking...
