Wind Blows, Ovechkin Goes Down


"Prepare to Unleash the Red!"

Washington Capitals slogan or pamphlet for those young girls becoming women?

Well, a little bit of both. The Washington Capitals have released ads promoting the season telling fans... well, rather, band wagoners, to unleash the red! You know, because of their red jerseys. It is a completely original idea that they certainly didn't rip off from Calgary's "C of Red." No, of course not.

Or perhaps unleash the red is a way for the organization to let fans know that Ovechkin is finally becoming a woman. How many times a game do you hear "Semin passes to Ovechkin" and wonder if they mean the player Semin or man juice? I think the above photo speaks for itself.

Ovechkin is supremely talented yes. I do not deny that. But he is also a bitch. A wussy little girl. NHL fans across the world talk about how Crosby dives and whines... but that is because there is a such a microscope on him. Crosby can do no right, while Ovechkin does the same exact things but apparently can do no wrong. Ovechkin does this just as much, if not more, but for some reason everyone focuses on Crosby. Here's a classic example of Ovechkin giving his best Oscar performance on the ice:





This isn't the first time Ovechkin has done this, and it certainly won't be the last. Although, we can all hope Chara catches him across the middle tonight and maybe give Ovechkin a real reason to hit the ice.

Sure he scores highlight real goals and energizes his team and the girls in the crowd pretending they like hockey (girls like Alex Semin). But he plays zero defense, often watching from the blue line while his team fights the oppositions offense, basically giving the other team a free power play. He is a cheap shot artist (ask Sergei Gonchar) and cannot deliver a decent hit without leaving his skates. And even if he somehow doesn't make the Russian hockey team in the Winter Olympics, you can find him at a local Russian pool practicing, and perfecting, his dives.
