    From the article -

    [...] As mentioned in an earlier post, April Witt’s profile of Alexander Ovechkin was the cover story for yesterday’s Washington Post Magazine. It was shocking and refreshing that the Post not only had a lengthy and positive article on anything hockey, but that they made it the cover story.
