Ovechkin talks to media before NYR game

Ovi, Boudreau talk to media before NYR game

Boudreau: "Unless something negative happens this afternoon and I don't get the OK from Smitty (head athletic trainer Greg Smith) to play him, than I think he would be back."

Ted's Take:

Read Mike Vogel’s article. We feel so blessed to read where the two-time defending MVP of the NHL says - in regards to new line changes and schemas because of injuries on our team - ”I don’t care where I play. If the team needs me down low, I am going down low.”

That kind of team-oriented attitude and selflessness is what separates Alex from many other great players. He is all about team. He is coachable still. He respects the game. He is a winner.

I hope to say tonight, “Welcome back Alex! We missed you. Go have some fun out there. Go Caps!”
