Japers' Rink, a Washington Capitals community

"And yeah, I really care what Rick Tocchet, the former bookmaker, thinks of Ovechkin showing people up. Like his values make him a quality judge."

"You can tell they like each other. They like being at the rink. You can tell hockey is fun. Sometimes it's almost like a puck on a pond. The Capitals have that attitude. They have fun. They're kicking soccer balls after practice, 20 guys. A guy scores and five guys hug each other. They're happy for the guy who scored. When you win, that happens. That's the stuff you've got to create."

"The Lightning recalled goaltender Karri Ramo... from AHL Norfolk.... Ramo was a surprise as goalie Olie Kolzig's left arm suffered a "setback" during the All-Star break, according to coach Rick Tocchet, and has been placed on injured reserve.

"Ovechkin just doesn't sit on the outside and take one-timers. He's in front of the net. he goes behind. He does a lot of wraps. He's a special player because he's an aggressive player. That's why I think he's the best player, because he's an aggressive player. He's not just a pure sniper who sits on the outside all day."
