Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Each and every weekend this season I'll be taking a look at the random happenings and absurdities that occur in the world of hockey. Feel free to suggest stories, complain or otherwise babble at me via electronic mail.If your contract paid you $124 million over the 13 years, you'd probably have a lot of extra money to play around with. As it turns out, those are the terms of the contract extension that Alex Ovechkin signed in January 2008. Naturally, the guy who loves to fly around on the ice likes to fly around on the streets as well. Ovechkin has quite a car collection, photos of which made the rounds on the internet this week.
Over at Jalopink, a Gawker blog that covers anything and everything about cars, they found pictures of two of AO's cars this week. One is a white Mercedes S Class with a license plate that reads "AAA8AAA." I have no idea what that means -- although '8' is his jersey number -- except maybe that's the sound Ovechkin makes every time he skates full throttle at the net on a breakaway.
One of Ovechkin's other cars is a Mercedes SL65 AMG Black series with a plate that reads "AO GR8". That makes a bit more sense and is, as the kids would say, a sick whip. But the real question, I think, is has he ever taken it out for a good ol' fashioned ghost ride? Now that would be YouTube gold! Gold I tell you!
