Alex Ovechkin is pretty good

I could be negative and concentrate on Shea, uh, Citifield's brand-spanking new obstructed seats. But I won't. Mostly because that's the view from row 17 and I'm in row 14 so I should have a beautiful view of the field, at least.

I could make another derisive comment about the current state of women's college basketball in light of UConn's recent win but, um, actually, I'm going to go ahead and do that. Providence did MUCH better than nationally ranked Pittsburgh a couple of days ago, managing to keep pace with the Huskies to the tune of 24-6. That's a whole extra free throw! I'm just going to ignore the fact that UConn scored as many points in the first half as Providence did in the game. Well, kind of.

Instead I'm going to highlight Alex Ovechkin scoring yet another ridiculous goal. My favorite part of the video is Ovechkin calling it a "top ten" goal. I'll say! My least favorite part is the analysis from the ESPN guys. I mean, there's some good information there but for fuck's sake try and keep up with the highlight people! For those not in the know, "Matthew" is Matthew Barnaby who never, ever scored a goal like that. Actually, my favorite story about Matthew Barnaby is a quote from former teammate Jaromir Jagr. "Every time I see you in the shower I feel bad for your wife." Anyway, on to the highlight!
