Alex Ovechkin has arrived

Alex Ovechkin is at Kettler this morning practicing in the informal practices. This is great news. I'll post more when I know more.

Update: This is from Tarik's blog.

After watching Ovechkin for about 45 minutes, it was obvious that he worked hard on his conditioning over the summer. After talking to him, I got the impression that he worked on his English a bit too.

"We know we have a good team, but we have to play better than last year to be better. We have to keep going like the last month of last year. It's going to be a good year."
