NBC Sunday Game of the Week 1/31, Lightning at Caps... who do you guys want to deal with Ovechkin? Let's finish what we started with this guy! I'm pretty sure the rest of the league would be pretty happy if one of these guys taught Ovary to play nice...

-Downie: He started it, now let him finish it, this time with no Matt Bradley riding to the resuce...

-Konopka?

-Vinny: Captain on Captain action?

-How about bringing Big Mitch Fritz up from Norfolk for the occasion?

 

Should be an awesome game, can't wait!

Can't do much worse than Miller, right?
