The NHL and their lame headlines.

Recently as of late, the NHL has seem to put a ton of puns into their headlines on the main site. When they aren't able to come up with anything good, they just make the headline what the score of the game was. Last night, Alexander Ovechkin had a five point night against the Leafs and it was the fourth time in his career that he's had five points in one game. The headline reads still 'Ovech-King'. Just add a 'g' on the end of his name and that's what you get. Clever, eh? Uh...

Of course at the same time, there are now people who call him Ovehkin because of the fact he has the 'C' on his sweater now. Speaking of that, I really think this whole 'Ovie being captain' thing is going to backfire on the Caps and the rest of the organization. Alex is a great star and I don't doubt that he's a good person, but being a captain shouldn't be his responsibility. He does his talking out on the ice, not with the media. That's no stab to his English either, you just know exactly what damage he can do out there. They've been winning a lot lately but I just don't know how much longer it's going to last.
