A Final Day of Calm To Enjoy Before the Postseason Storm

Alexander Ovechkin, Stand-Up Comedian

25 March, 2008

As if his on-ice accomplishments weren’t enough, Alexander Ovechkin can keep ‘em in stitches too. Gennady Boguslavsky, Sovsport‘s Montreal-based reporter, recently asked Ovechkin a few questions others wouldn’t. Boguslavsky clearly caught Ovechkin in a pretty mischievous mood. Thank you to our friend and newly-minted countryman Dmitry Chesnokov for the translation. Q. If you were to [...]
