Russian Machine Never Sleeps

The headline comes from Caps Today :-)

And here's the quote from DC Sports God's great article (If you don't know, Bog means God in Russian):

The Capitals are fond of saying that Ovechkin never has a bad day. When he arrives at the practice facility at 8 in the morning and teammates are still groggy, he's screaming good morning! "Sometimes you wonder if he ever sleeps," Laich said.

What a great read, I kind of forgot about this article...

Here's another:

While his mother said Ovechkin eats normal portions at home, teammates still joke about his pregame appetite. Two veterans refer to him as "a farm animal" feeding from a trough. "I couldn't eat that much," Green said. "He consumes," forward Mike Knuble added.

LOL.

The trough is there, but the feed has been greatly reduced since Ovi lost 9 pounds.

Awesome article, I enjoyed reading it again.
