* Ovechkin will unveil a trick shot, honed in Russia this summer, for the NHL All-Star Game's version of the NBA dunk contest. Has he perfected the flip-it-in-the-air-and whack-it-in-around-the-back shot that he tried last year?
ReplyDelete* Green will show last year wasn't a fluke: he still can't ride a Segway!
* Leonsis will lobby for construction of a Hershey, Pa., Metrorail station to ease travel times for Alzner and Bourque.
* The Caps will launch a Rock-the-Third-Jersey promotion.
