Happy 25th Birthday to Great Eight!


The First Day of the Rest Of Ovie’s Life

BobbyG

Dreams are born in youth
And honed on endless ice sheets
Hungry for the fight

Master skills, technique;
Unleash a shot so deadly
Mortals quake in fear

Test yourself in ways
We can only dream about;
Time and space vanish

A lost brother speaks;
You kiss your glove in tribute
And celebrate life

Fifty goals season,
A hot stick is set on fire,
Your light hot and bright

Losses, open wounds;
Undaunted you persevere,
Strive for perfection

Beware Russian bear;
The Kremlin dome rises up,
Inspires your fierce pride

Capitals faithful
Appreciate your greatness;
Bend, but do not break



Ovi,

Let the season begin and let the season end like you'll have it in your mind when you will blow out the candles on you birthday cake.


Happy 25th Captain Ovechkin!

My idea was to present Ovi with his favorite food, sushi, a'la Nyotaimori style (on a naked body) but where as my body would hold a lot of sushu, the plate is not very pretty so I decided against that...

Happy Birthday to our sweet, darling, goofy Ovie!



@BobbyG,
Love the poem!

Some haikus for Ovie's birthday:


Quick intensity
bringing joy to hockey fans
Zip. He scores again


Elfin grin warms hearts
Blades scurry across white ice
Unguarded five-hole

Happy birthday, Alex!

As I said in the other time, I'm very busy with school- didn't even have time to make my mom anything(it's her birthday too)

I'll wish him a great season, filled with a shiny, silver cup and trophies!

I know I have finally arrived, immortalized here on TJ's blog AND Yahoo Sports/Puck Daddy LOL. At least 15 minutes of fame worth of immortality anyway. I'll take it.

@O and Dawn: thank you so much for the compliments. I must give credit where credit is due. Ovie was and continues to be my inspiration--for strength, courage, and perseverance under pressure. I wish him success and happiness this season and in life.

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY OVIE!
