It’s almost as if there’s a Red-Out of North American media in chronicling the Caps. Take a look at¬†a selection of out-of-town electronic and print coverage just from this weekend:
‘Ovechkin: NHL fans’ Plan B,’ James Duthie, Ottawa Citizen: “Right now, the Washington Capitals are harder to resist than a puppy in a shelter . . . While Sidney is polished and corporate slick, Ovechkin is still a raw, wild child . . . He celebrates every goal like it’s the OT winner in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals (can’t wait to see what he does when he actually scores the OT winner in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals).” ¬†¬†¬†
‘Ovechkin delivers when Capitals need it most,’ Mark Spector, National Post: “After slumbering through the opening 40 minutes — he didn’t register his first shot on goal for nearly 53 minutes last night — Ovechkin’s late heroics tore the roof off Verizon Center, a sold out rink that gives the Canadian arenas a run for their money where noise and excitement is concerned.”¬†
‘Hairy, heady times for Caps’ Ovechkin,’ Jim Matheson, CanWest News Service: “‘This town is crazy right now¬†. . . people are going by my house, screaming, ‘Go, Caps, Go,’ and people are coming to my door with letters saying, ‘We believe, bring the Stanley Cup,’” a beaming Ocehkin told reporters . . . “It’s pretty amazing. Washington is a hockey town.”¬†¬†¬†
‘Playoffs, Night 3,’ Aaron Portline, Columbus Dispatch: “A big part of what makes playoff hockey special is the atmosphere in the buildings. There were two scenes tonight that I would have loved to witness first-hand: one in St. Paul, Minn.; the other in Washington, D.C. . . . Alexander Ovechkin and the gang have rejuvinated a long-dead market.” ¬†¬†
‘Capitals fans in a frenzy over Ovechkin,’ Ray Parrillo, Philadelphia Inquirer: “. . . Alexander Ovechkin, whose dreamy blend of brute force, delicate hands, and uninhibited love for the game has turned up hockey fever in the nation’s capital as never before . . .
“I’ve been on teams with a lot of skilled players, but I’ve never seen anyone who loves the game as much as he does,” said Donald Brashear, a former Flyer who throws punches for the Caps. “That kind of love for the game was lacking in some of the other top players I’ve been around. So he’s unusual. He brings intensity and joy to every game. He makes you want to go harder. He gives you goose bumps.”
