Amazing When You Consider

It still amazes me that after three seasons of play, Alex Ovechkin is 3rd all-time for the most goals scored after Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy in that time period. He is ahead of Mario Lemieux and every other great player that has ever played the game in NHL history. As I said, Alex is a historic player. If Alex Semin is healthy this season and develops to his capabilities, I believe it is possible that we could have two 50 goal scorers this season. Last season, to have the leading forward goal scorer in the league (Ovechkin) and the leading D man scorer in Mike Green was also a first in a long, long time.

Ya Got Me on This One…

It is the Olympics and one of my favorite sports to watch is beach volleyball. I was so excited to see the US men and women win gold medals. But if beach volleyball is on TV and it isn’t the Olympics, I could care less. I don’t watch and I have no interest. Why is that? Why is it that the Olympics brand has me watching the finals of men’s beach volleyball at 11:00pm and I really care about the outcome.? Strange indeed.
