Alex Ovechkin Answers Your Questions
Alex Ovechkin stops by ESPN to answer questions about his dream linemates, favorite milk and most difficult goalie to face.
Update from ESPN.com (h/t to O):
Alex Ovechkin probably wasn't texting Sidney Crosby between interviews on Monday.
The Capitals captain discussed his dream linemates, his least favorite goalies to face, his musical preferences and his favorite milk.
Also, Buccigross did the math and thinks Ovechkin can score 70 goals this season and break Wayne Gretzky's record of 894 goals in his career. At 25 years old, Ovechkin has 273 goals. Is that realistic?
In case you were wondering, Ovechkin texts in both English and Russian. Wonder how much that phone bill costs a month?
After answering your questions, Ovechkin listened as Buccigross gave some fantasy hockey tips: Ovi's penalty minutes and shots on goal make him a clear No. 1 pick.
Keep an eye out for Ovechkin's commercial later this year. The top-secret shoot was taking place at various locations on ESPN's campus.
Alex, Bucci and Varly with legendary Brett Leonhardt

I hope the boys were provided with a good dinner. They've been there since 3pm.
The video is now posted with an article that has more photos.

this makes me feel less bad about not providing ovie pics from this years season ticket party, which couldn't go to, and looks like neither could ovie :)
I want ot know what slim milk is.... I've heard of skim milk, but not slim milk. Does it come from slim cows and is that another pun at Varlys dislike of fat women :-)
@bwitch16
Slim milk is usually found in the Caribbean, not sure if it's in Europe also, but if it's the milk I talking about it's really good. Then again Ovi could've meant something totally different.
@Anonymous: In Sweden we have light milk (direct translastion) and I guess you can call that slim milk. Either way, it tastes like cardboard box so it's a good thing he doesn't drink that.
Sidenote, glad to see that Semin hung with the Swedes at the STH party at Six Flags last night so he wouldn't be all lonely without his bff.
Love the pics, especially the one of Ovi playing a video game with the kid.
We don't have cable anymore, so I will never see the commercial on ESPN. I have no fear, though, because I know this blog will bring it to me first :)
Is this, or is this not the funniest picture of Ovechkin you've ever seen? Lol
