As we noted this morning, Alex Ovechkin was named D.C. Sportsman of the Year at last night's Sneaker Ball. It was a repeat performance for AO (in the only two years the award has been handed out), who also took home the award for "best play" for this amazing individual effort in Game 5 of the Rangers series (which beat out Semyon Varlamov's save on Sidney Crosby, among nominees).

Ovechkin wasn't the only Cap honored at the event, however, as vice president and general manager George McPhee was named Sports Executive of the Year (narrowly, we presume, edging out Jim Bowden and Vinny Cerrato).

For more, including the standard "Ovi with attractive women" shot, check out Steinz's file on the evening.

haha, oh i did :)

p.s. speaking of pictures, if anyone cares (off topic, sorry), i noticed there are more backgrounds to the caps’ new website layout now – so far i’ve seen steckel, gordo, and flash but i’m assuming that means they have pretty much everyone now

Laich’s suit for the win.

So is that the “‘Ovi with attractive women’ shot”?

Is anyone else a little bit terrified of Slapshot?

Fight, you time-wasting figure skaters!

That’s Screech, and yes, he’s terrifying.

Good for him. Any other choice would have been criminal.

But not that surprising considering this city.

A man must have a code.

And it’s love of criminals.

D.C. Sportsman of the Year, “best play”, a video game box AND hot chicks all in one year…ooooh, even better than winning, say, the Stanley Cup huh?
