NEW YORK – Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin has joined an elite group of players who, in the same season, have won the Art Ross Trophy for the National Hockey League scoring championship as well as the Maurice Richard Trophy for being the Leagueâ??s top goal scorer, while Detroit Red Wings goaltenders Dominik Hasek and Chris Osgood have captured the 2007-08 William Jennings Trophy as the goaltenders for the club finishing the season having surrendered the fewest goals.
The awards will be presented at a media event to be conducted during the Stanley Cup Final.
Ovechkin won the Art Ross Trophy by finishing the season with 112 points (65 goals, 47 assists), six more than Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins (47-59–106) and 14 more than Calgary Flames right wing Jarome Iginla (50-48–98).
Ovechkinâ??s League-leading goal total, an NHL record for left wings and the highest in the NHL since Mario Lemieux had 69 in 1995-96, made Ovechkin the first Russian-born player to win both trophies in the same season. Atlantaâ??s Ilya Kovalchuk finished second to Ovechkin with 52 goals, with Iginla third.
Ovechkin becomes only the sixth player in the past 37 years to lead the League in goals and points in the same season, joining a group that includes Phil Esposito (1970-71 through 1973-74), Guy Lafleur (1977-78), Wayne Gretzky (1981-82 through 1984-85, plus 1986-87), Mario Lemieux (1987-88, 1988-89) and Iginla (2001-02).
Osgood appeared in 43 games and Hasek in 41, with each surrendering 84 goals as the Red Wings finished with the most points in the League (115) and the fewest goals against (184).

Stubhub prices are ridiculous. F that. Any chance I'll get tix closer to face from day-of scalpers at the Verizon Center?
always worth a try. you might need to miss a few minutes of the first period, as i'd expect that prices won't drop until after face-off.
also, keep an eye on craigslist. occasionally face-priced tickets pop up there although this is probably less likely for the playoffs.

While helping a friend (caps fan even) here in Richmond look for tickets, I saw a few ads on C's List for tickets at face from season ticket holders. Ads said you had to pick up your tikcets wearing your Caps jersey though… :) I hope you find tickets.
The caps-fans-only clause pretty much eliminates me :)
Not to flare back up the Caps/Pens hate-spew, but the Pens team photo for this year might be the most hilarious thing I've seen in a long time…

You should warn me before hand about stuff like that, at my age I need to wear depends when I laugh that hard in case some pee drips out.
The Pittsburgh syncronized ice dancing team…..not much different than the Pittsburgh Pentards really so makes sense.

I wouldn't make them the favorite or in the top 5, but the deserve better then next-to-worst odds. Put them at 32-1 with Colorado.
100 to 1….

"They physically pushed the Senators around… Maxim Talbot, for instance, rushed to the defense of Fleury, who was jawing with Martin Lapointe, and Talbot threw Lapointe to the ice. Even Crosby got into it with Redden and Gerber with 3:25 left. That led to Ryan Whitney jumping to Crosby's defense and soundly thumping Redden in a fight that pretty much summed up the state of affairs for teams."
