Alex Ovechkin Named D.C. Sportsman of the Year

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

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.

But not that surprising considering this city.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
