I figured he had to be there. Saw a video his wife posted of their “compound”......must say, what I could see, I expected nicer....
You think Nate Schmidt is the real father?Not sure when Mrs. Ovechkin is due but wouldn't it be cool if the baby was born on August 8th?
If it is born on 8/7 I might not like it as much.

Still feels surreal to see this. I see they will engrave "Alex Ovechkin" and not "Alexander Ovechkin".
#GOATAnd Ovie is the only one without one shot type accounting for at least 40% of his goals. hashtag balanced
Al Macinnis previously had the best slapshot I'd ever seen and I wonder if he ever scored more than the 17 goals in a season Ovy had last year from his slapper and he played when they scored more.
Work on that backhander, Ovie!
How does one define a great slapshot? Maybe MacInnis for power, Kovalchuk for release, Ovy with a better release than Kovy and 97% of Macinnis's power.“Best”? Really? Among the hardest for sure. Powerful thudding shots. I watched him a ton as a kid. Loved big Al.
Ovy's slapshot is the most devastating weapon I've seen unless you count Gretzky behind the net, but for Macinnis vs the rest of the field, Flames won the Cup building their offense around his slapper. I found a quote in this NYT article from Roy where he said their whole plan was to have Macinnis put it on net and have Mullen and Nieuwendyk try to get rebounds. Led postseason in assists and won the Conn Smythe.Exactly....that’s why I took issue with your use of “best”.
I’d take Hull or Ovy’s over Al.
