The gaudier the patter.
The Alex Ovechkin bobblehead dolls distributed at Verizon Center this week were encased in so many layers of boxing, bubble and foam that you felt like Humphrey Bogart unwrapping the jewel-encrusted Maltese Falcon. In one way, Ovechkin resembles that famous detective-story bird: The Great Eight really is “the stuff that dreams are made of.” But unlike the fake statue in the movie, Ovechkin is the real thing — a treasure for the hockey ages.
Caps’ ‘Monster’ Is Scary Good, Thomas Boswell.

Life is good.
