Its on... "Sid the Kid" vs "Alexander the Great"

The NHL league officials are feeling pretty good as the hockey gods have smiled down upon them giving them a great 2nd round match up in the Washington Caps vs Pittsburgh Penguins. The reason this is so great is because 2 of the leagues super stars, Alex Ovechkin (DC) and Sid Crosby (Pit) will face each other in a 7 game battle. This is basically the Lebron and Kobe of the NHL going head to head. Another interesting factor is the fact that these 2 superstars HATE each other and look for any opportunity to take each other out. Hockey fans across the US will love it, but of course our folks from the DMV will be pulling for the Caps to bring a Championship to DC. So even if you don't go to the games or watch, make sure you read the papers or see the highlights on TV cuz this will be a great series!
