Is it possible to play hockey on Mars?

OVECHKIN: Why not?

How long before one of our genius congressmen read this, mistakes Ovechkin for a Russian spy and calls for a Congressional hearing on the Soviets quest for domination of Mars?

Carey Price in net, Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, Kane, Backstrom, Cogliano, Phaneuf, throw in Stamkos for good measure.

@blackheartededitor: Awesome analogy.

Which would make Mario the Lennon, and Viktor Kozlov the Charlie Watts, I suppose."

That, sir, is funny.

Refreshing to hear a superstar not just throw out cliches, eh?

Thanks for the link-love.

Unless, you know, you want the teams to win something meaningful.

One runs over you, one goes around you. Both are making hockey a lot of fun to watch when your own team isnt playing.

He could pick up a video game console, pick Pittsburgh as his team, and score 50 goals in one gaming session.

Not as impressive as winning a season in both baseball and football in Bo Jackson's 2-in-1 Sports for Gameboy - and I did it when I was 11! Take THAT Sidney!
