New Jersey Devil's rookie gets signed picture of Ovie
Found this quite humorous
http://deadspin.com/the-child-now-a-...f-r-1790623676
Quote:
Way back in 2006, an 11-year-old boy sent a letter to his favourite hockey player, young Caps superstar Alexander Ovechkin. The letter contained a hockey card, and a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a note to Ovechkin. No, not a note—a threat.
As the boy’s father recalled, it read
Quote:

“If you don’t sign this and send it back to me, when I make it to the NHL, I’m going to give you a big body check.”

Good on the kid for taking up his path of revenge that fuelled him to make the NHL.

Great comment at the bottom of the article:
"James Franco’s 4th brother there looks like he is about to be touched inappropriately by an old homeless Russian man."

ha - i had to google james franco - i had no clue who he is.... an actor apparently 
checked his imdb page and i think the only thing i've seen that he was in was an episode of the x-files back in 2001
i guess i need to watch more tv/movies 
gotta love ovi's sense of humor!!

The Devil's broadcast said that Ovechkin sent the picture over to the Devil's room with a note that read, "Miles Wood, please take it easy on me tonight."
Wood is the son of former NHLer Randy Wood and is going to be a good player for them. Great skater.
