JapersRink: Matt Bradley and I are cut from the same cloth. Him: face busted open, scores game-winner. Me: hand-sanitizer in a paper cut, keeps typing.

washcaps: As if Matt Bradley didn't do enough last night, National Geographic reminds us that he's saving the earth as well...

Matt Bradley:

Can you summarize what your actions have been so far?
As far as what I've done with our team, a couple years ago I noticed there was no recycling of our [plastic] water bottles and Gatorade bottles. So I just suggested we get some bins, and instead of throwing them away just start recycling them. The next step last year with the team was we bought reusable bottles, and [we're] trying to cut down on using [bottled water] and [are] instead using filtered water in our room.

Has the team been using [the reusable bottles]?
Not everyone is, but most of the guys are. And same with the recycling, the players and staff have really come on board and done a great job.

Fedorov and his little big bro are injured, their team is losing. Here's the article about Fedorov in Russian www.HotIceMag.com/special/18/. He is still not happy how he was treated in Detroit. Oh, well, at least he had a good time in Washington. And who is not when playing with Ovechkin?

This was all over the internet yesterday, first saw it at Empty Netters: "Hockey fans may be familiar with Alex Ovechkin's signature celebration of jumping into the glass boards to pump up the fans. This maneuver does not always go according to plan, however."
