from Harlan Goode of the Washington Times,
He stands just outside the entrance to Verizon Center, Marlboro in one hand, iPhone in the other. He stares straight ahead, exchanging brief glances with passers-by.
Do they recognize him? Do they see the similarity - the wide face, the way his eyebrows run together? Do they know that this short, soft-bellied man with the tousled hair and the 5 o’clock shadow is but a few strands of DNA removedfrom the greatest hockey player on the planet?...
“Time to go,” Mikhail Ovechkin says through a thick Russian accent. “Game starts soon.”
He walks back into the arena’s atrium, where giant posters proclaim his younger sibling a hero.
