Ovechkin: Even the cops stop to shake my hand

These quotes are actually cited from Sport-Express, but I couldn't find the article on their web site. What can you say, they are slow as usual...

championat.ru, Sept. 25, 2009:

Alex Ovechkin:

We have some unfinished job from the last season. It didn't end the way we wanted. So we have something to prove. I am not going to save anything [with the long season and Olympics ahead - tj]. I'll work in every game to the fullest. It's not going to be a problem, I will come up to the Olympics in a great shape. I'll keep in touch with Dmitri Kapitonov in Moscow, will call him to ask what to do next. He has already given me the plan on what to do now and I try to accomplish it.

In Washington everybody recognizes me on a street, everybody greets me, wishes good luck. Even the cops stop to shake my hand. On ambulance, firefighters trucks I saw the Capitals flags. It is very nice, no question. I even feel better because of it, the fans attention just jump-starts you...
