A Call to Vote for Ovechkin this weekend

(shameless link sorry JP)

Caps Kremlin's campaign for Ovechkin.

Yes it's likely that Ovechkin will do a back-flip, bicycle kick the puck into the net and then shoot fireworks out of his stick and still lose this event due to text message voting.

Yes, Kovalev will have the Montreal fanboys behind him texting the very second the event starts.

And yes, fan voting is a horrible horrible idea, but what's even worse is not even trying to support your team.

So disregard your feelings toward fan voting and vote for Ovechkin this weekend.

That is all.

"The record at home is 17-1-1, and there certainly won't be a ticket to spare Tuesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, a rivalry so intense that an upset fan left two unbroken eggs on a wall outside Ovechkin's house after a 7-1 loss in Philly on Dec. 20. The message attached to the eggs, according to Ovechkin: "Don't do it anymore."

Strangest threat ever?

Semin to return against Rangers?

Semin's back in the line-up according to Tarik El Bashir.

"It also looks like Alexander Semin will return from a six-game absence because of a back injury. He skated this morning and apparently feels good enough to give it a shot. Coach Bruce Boudreau said he's going to take the pre-game warmup before deciding for sure. Just in case, Boudreau told Alexandre Giroux to come off the ice. He was just about to start skating hard, the way scratches do on game days."
