Last night, Russia defeated Canada and knocked the defending gold medalists out of the Olympic tournament.  As always, Alex Ovechkin played a tough, high-energy game, and scored yet another goal.   

Alex’s mother won two Olympic gold medals during her stellar basketball career, and I know that performing well in these games is a major goal for Alex, and so far he’s shown that the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree.  Congratulations Alex!
