No, I said it. It was right out of a few articles, the most vehiment was in Dave Fay's article in the Washington Times.

Having said that, AO has agreat game last night ( 2 Goals and an assist) and it looks like AO and Hanlon have 'kissed and made up'.

""I feel pretty good today," Ovechkin said. "I try to do what Coach said -- how I must play to attack and how I must play in defensive zone"
