DC Sports Bog, Sept. 13, 2010:
Well, we knew this Capital One commercial starring Alex Ovechkin and Donovan McNabb was coming. Sunday night, it arrived. Here's one television photography version of the spot, sure to be beloved by local sports fans in much the same way as Bruce Boudreau's Cup Holders and the Ameritel triplets are.

“He’s amazing. There aren’t enough words in English or Russian to describe him.”
~Chris Drury
"He's like the shark in Jaws, circling in the water waiting for blood. They should play that music from the movie – da-duh, da-duh, da-duh - when he's out on a shift. He doesn't just go after loose pucks, he hunts them down."
~John Davidson, President of Hockey Operations for the St. Louis Blues.
Keep the faith, TJ, and keep up the good work.
Thank you, Alex Ovetjkin, for killing this ridiculous storyline with this post.

Just wanted to thank you for posting my book on your blog, which I consulted a fair bit while researching and writing the book. In particular, the comprehensive list of links on alexovetjkin.blogspot.com is the best library on Ovechkin material available anywhere.

Saw this one last night. I really like the Ovie and the Visigoths commercial, but did not like this one. I get that Ovie is supposed to be helping McNabb move in, but did not find it funny.
What strikes me as odd about this commercial is that Ovechkin's nickname is Ovey, McNabb calls him Ovey, but the name on Ovechkin's moving van says "Oles' Moving Company." Given that Ovechkin's name doesn't even have an "L" in it, this just seems sloppy.
This commercial is a bit strange and out of sync. It lacks the humor of Ovie's first ad with the Visigoths IMO, and captures none of Ovie's awesome personality. I don't think even an HD version will help sell it.
