The Associated Press: Caps' Ovechkin Signs $124 Million Deal
I'd have done the same thing if I owned a hockey team. Now they just need a decent goalie (sorry Olie), and they'd have a chance at the Stanley Cup.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin was unshaved and his mop of hair was in dire need of a comb. He did, however, make one concession after signing the richest contract in NHL history. He wore a suit. Stashed away were his bizarre color-clashing getups that would make Mr. Blackwell cringe.
"Well," he said with a shrug, "I'm still looking good."
Of course he is. He has a $124 million, 13-year contract extension with the Washington Capitals, a handsome reward for the charismatic, 22-year-old Russian who has been a nonstop goal-scorer since coming to the NHL in 2005.
"I'm happy I stay here," Ovechkin said. "It's my second home. I like the fans. I like the team. I like everything here."
