In Case You Didn’t See ESPN on Alex Ovechkin

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Here it is. Check it out.

I just saw it online today. It is well done and a very professionally produced take on Alex. I wish we could have seen a bit more of Alex the teammate and mentor here but sizzle sells on television. I have seen Alex do many little things with fans, teammates and our community that warm the heart.

I want everyone to know that I personally take Alex’s safety and the safety of all of those around here seriously and I have counseled him on his need for speed in his car on our streets. I can assure you that he doesn’t drive at very high speeds and that he knows and respects our laws. And his health and well-being.

Anyway, check this one out and thank you ESPN for all of the hard work here.
