"I want to say thanks to all my teammates, the whole organization, to Ted, George, the coaching staff," said Ovechkin. "I'm proud to be with the Washington Capitals for 13 years more. Our goal is to bring a Stanley Cup here."

Now it's time to celebrate! Nalivaj, I mean, pour it!

Click 'play' on the top and quickly on the bottom video... :-)



Our love is alive and so we begin
foolishly layin our hearts on the table, stumblin in
Our love is a flame burnin within
now and then fire light will catch us stumblin in.





Here's a rough translation from English into Russian:

Давай наливай, поговорим
Будущий день покажется светлым kак сто балерин
И если не лень, то повторим
Прямо сейчас пусть будут эти cто балерин

...now if we translate it back into English:

Pour it in and the talk will begin
The future seems bright
Like hundred ballerinas
And if you're not lazy, let's repeat
I want those hundred ballerinas right now
There are a hundred balerinas
And I need just one


...hmmm... Something is lost in translation, huh?

Pour it in, man... Davaj nalivaj... and
Viva Ovechkin!

P.S. Do you know how much Ovechkin saved on not having an agent?

$124M * 5% = $6.2M

$6.2 million! Nalivaj!

P.P.S. Just got it; 'stumblin in' in Russian sounds like hundredbalerinas, i.e. 'stobalerin'
