“I Rock the Red” — I believe he was referring to the Semin-related smoking incident incident in Cologne before the World Championships, not the three Czech players a couple of weeks ago…….

Ovi: In America, you can drink if you are over the age of 21. In America, you can smoke if you are over the age of 18. Two of these three players were neither, and THAT, IMO, is the problem, not the drinking and smoking itself. The age for that was, I believe, 18, was it not?

I’d love to ask what Ovi has to say about underage drinking and smoking, not just drinking and smoking in general…

Thanks for posting this and cross-referencing TJ of Alex Ovetjkin where I also post. The photo is terrific too, comparable to the sepia photo TJ chose for showcasing Ovie’s passion and intensity. This is the Ovie I want back this coming season–determined, refreshed and exorcised of all his demons. I hope Ovie can channel his feelings and any lingering negative emotions about unfinished business–his fury, anger, frustration and disappointment–into a monster season. And not only for individual personal stats and awards, but where it matters most–Stanley Cup playoffs success. GO OVIE!
