Having Crosby soaring and Ovechkin grimacing isn’t necessarily good for promoting the bejeezus out of another gimmicky hockey game in a football stadium...The struggles of one star compared to the new heights of another aren’t necessarily bad for the narrative [of the new HBO show, 24/7]. But the Capitals have historically been so sensitive to any perceived criticism of Ovechkin or suggestion that he is anything but Crosby’s equal (nasty anti-Russian Canadian media) that the temptation for Ted (Mr. Pursuit of Happiness) Leonsis to intervene or blog or whine will probably be irresistible.
