Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

And when Czech-Slovakia is over, I'll put in the Miracle DVD

I was so meh about the return of the NHL this year that I did not hop on the Alex Ovechkin bandwagon right away. I was reserved for a few weeks, didn't go buying a number 8 jersey. I've been burned by can't-miss kids before, ya know.

So I can't really go saying "Did you my boy Alex with the game-winning goal over Canada today?"

That kid is fun to watch. So is Evgeni Malkin...the only thing not to like about him is that the Penguins have his NHL rights. (I guess it'd be worse if it were Carolina, but old rivalries die hard.)

Time to go catch the third period of the Czech-Slovak game.
