For those who may have forgotten, it was NHL All-Star weekend
and it was pretty darn entertaining.
My Washington Caps represented themselves well the whole weekend. On Saturday Nicklas Backstrom scored two goals and notched an assist during the young stars game and Alex Ovechkin won the all-new break-away challenge, a slam dunk style event for hockey players where they are judged on style by four judges. I was happy Ovie won, as he obviously was pretty creative in his attempts but I could help but think that scoring the goal should be part of the event too. I guess that's just bonus baby!
As for the actual game - Ovie bagged two goals to help the Eastern Conference win a very good game that came down to the wire. Boston's Marc Savard scored the game winner with 20.9 seconds left on the clock.
Ovechkin, in only his second all-star game, already has more goals scored at the event than any player who came before him. And with Backstrom's strong performance on Saturday it's only more proof that maybe the future is looking pretty bright for the Caps!
