I may be the only person in Southern California who gives a fuck, but YAY! Hockey’s back!
And while Sidney Crosby’s getting all the attention, this Ovechkin guy the Caps got their hands on doesn’t look to shabby, either.
And on an only marginally related note: Fuck the Yankees. Man, if the Angels could pull a 2002 again, I’d be a happy, happy O’s fan. The schadenfreude that season was quite delicious.
And with that post, I promise to shut up about sports for the rest of the week.
I spent the entire 2003-04 season writing about Ovechkin since the Pens were in last place. “Next Lemieux” this and “Next Lemieux” that. Then the Caps won the draft lottery and stole him from the Pens. I laughed.
The kid’s gonna be a star…
Heh, well, the Pens got Crosby, so I think “next Gretzky” isn’t too bad. We’ll see who does better soon.
