@UkraineNotWeak: I was on the front page of the Washington Post sports section when I was about 4-5 years old, getting Maruk's autograph. Not sure how far back you go, but they used to let fans on the ice after the last home game of the season and the players would come around and sign. Mostly because they were never preparing for the playoffs.

Also, his mail-order bride is hot as hell.

@hutchirish: Well if my knowledge of Eastern European stereotypes learned from watching American movies is correct, everything that was popular here 15 years ago is popular in Russia today.

@Sarcastro: Ah, but Rob Brown was the highest scorer with the young female hockey set,

60 goals and 106 points. Malkin has 99 points... (just pointing it out because Caps fans happiness goes against all I know.)

Everyone should strive to emulate Pavel Bure.

@Unsilent Majority: I just assumed he sleeps in Leonsis's box during the offseason.

Fins think Kari Lehtonen is a girly name, but have no problems with Ima Broad.

@UkraineNotWeak: Do you happen to remember the name of the worst 50+ goal scorer in NHL history?

Yes, the Penguins' Rob Brown. Lemieux used to bounce pucks off Brown's rump into the net to entertain himself.

I remember when 60 goal seasons were a normal occurrence. The NHL of the 70s and 80s was great.

I'm just glad that Backstrom scored those 2 goals late, and managed to put both of them into the correct goal.

The real question is whether Carlos Rogers goes to the Verizon Center for any Caps games, or only for the Wiz.

I'm still undecided on whether Ovie's girl is hot. Right now I'm distracted about how sad it is that the Caps have a 60-goal scorer and could still miss the playoffs
