Caps / Pens Rewind

8 March, 2008

The communications department of the NHL alerted us to a special recap video of the January 21st Caps/Pens game that saw two friends and fellow countrymen score two goals and assist each. Ovechkin and Malkin were the first [...]

Alexander Ovechkin's Historical Ride to 60

Alexander Ovechkin in Super Slo-Mo

25 January, 2008

We won’t be able to “skate alongside” Ovechkin in this years All-Star game like we did last year with the Rail Cam, but we will be able to watch him move very slowly. According to an article on the Sports Video Group website, the Versus network will be using a Fletcher Super Slo Mo camera. [...]

Knee-jerks: Playoffs, Night 2

13 April, 2007
