Tarik’s¬†Washington Post¬†game file¬†today leads with, “After scoring his second goal of the game, Alex Ovechkin skated toward the corner boards at HSBC Arena, waving his arms in the air, imploring the capacity crowd to increase the volume . . . They did — and he loved every second of it.” Over at the Times, Corey’s game file is headlined,¬†”Victory for the villian.” Both files allude to Alexander Ovechkin’s bad-guy status in Buffalo –¬†likely made worse last night by his heroics.
There was something superbly schadenfreud-ish for a few fleeting seconds last night as AO skated toward¬†the HSBC plexiglass, victory virtually assured,¬†behind which was perched a confab of the stunned and Slug-sweatered. His arms were raised in triumph, his gaze fixed on them. We wondered what he might possibly have mouthed to them in those sweet seconds of triumph. Then we thought, why not invite our readers to offer up their ideas — the more creative, the better.
So have at it; just what might those sad eyes in their blue-slugged sweaters have lip-read from Ovie?

Isn’t it obvious… He said “It’s good to be OVIE!”
“Why do you still boo me? Briere dumped this town as fast as he could and I’m the villan?”
Oh. Wait. You said what did he SAY, not what was he THINKING.
“Briere who?”
“I must break you!”

Though I’m a bit rusty at lip-reading, I believe what Ovie said was:
“Suck it, Trebek!!”
“Russian Machine is a sabre through your minor league town hearts.”
“I’m f*ckin’ Matt Damon!” 😀

The line to get out of this craphole starts here.
“If l was in your shoes…I’d be–
Leaving!! What a good idea!”
“Buffalo is the new Omsk!”

I just crapped my pants,..and I’m not even at the game, It just happened because I live in Buffalo NY.
