• Last night Alexander Ovechkin was like Savoir Faire, he was everywhere.
• Last night Alexander Ovechkin took twelve shots. Eight of them on net.
• Last night Alexander Ovechkin scored his league-high 48th goal to snap a 1-1 tie with 2 minutes, 41 seconds left in the second period.
• Last night Alexander Ovechkin made a game-saving defensive play, catching Simon Gagne from behind and knocking the puck away and breaking up the shorthanded breakaway.
• Last night Alexander Ovechkin grew his legend a little bit more.

Alexander Ovechkin is special. You’re so fuckin’ special. I wish I was special. But I’m a creep. I’m a weirdo. What the hell am I doin’ here? I don’t belong here. Ovechkin belongs here. Just like The Great One and Super Mario belonged here. Belonged here since he was a rookie.

Since he was a rookie, an NHL nation turned their lonely eyes to you. Woo hoo hoo. Woo hoo hoo. Number one draft pick in the 2004 draft. Rookie of the Year in 2006. In 2006, I saw him score THE goal. Bill Clement saw it too. Bill Clement called it ”one of the greatest goals of all time.” Belmont Mass’ own Paul Mara smashes AO to the ice. AO slides on his back facing away from the hizzy. Getting dizzy. You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy. The way you rock’n’roll. Ovechkin, by the grace of God, manages to hook the puck with one hand on his stick and slide it into the net past Brian Boucher. Heeee shoots, heee scores, heee buys Sam a drink and gets his dog one too! You knew then and there, you were witnessing what greatness is all about. LeBron James be damned.

Wikipedia on Savoir Faire:

...Klondike is always in pursuit of Savoir-Faire (Sandy Becker), a French-Canadian mouse who constantly steals food and is known for his catch phrase, "Savoir-Faire is everywhere!" Savoir-Faire is accompanied by his sled dog Malamutt.

...hmmm... that dog's first name was Slava? :-)
