Nice of the NHL to squeeze Alex Ovechkin, the best player in hockey, into the All-Star Game. Guess the league thinks the Capitals' 64-29-10 record since November 2007 is some kind of typographical error.

The starting lineups break down like this: four Canadiens, two Penguins, three Blackhawks and three Ducks.

The fans haven't just spoken, they've quacked.

Their goal next year, I hear, is to elect a couple of Cleveland Barons and at least one California Golden Seal.

It's pretty clear now why the Caps didn't match Chicago's offer to Cristobal Huet. The guy can't play outdoors.

Can you believe John Smoltz is leaving the Braves after 21 seasons to play for the Red Sox?
