Alex Ovechkin Wears Yellow Socks

Yesterday the Flyers took part in a rookie pre-season game with the Washington Capitals. Now the game consisted mainly of people who will not be wearing NHL uniforms in a few weeks, but that does not mean you can't get some pretty good video from the game. Broad Street Hockey blogger (and my ex-trivia opponent) Ben Rothenberg attended the game and got to take some video which he posted on YouTube. 2 things to take note of: a). Alexander Ovechkin's yellow shoes. b). the Flyers new awesome road uniforms.



The new road uniforms are the same uniforms as their 2010 Winter Classic uniforms minus the patch, but regardless, they are still awesome looking and I look forward to seeing them all throughout the 2010-11 season, starting in just a few weeks, incredibly enough.

Alexander Ovechkin Is A WHAT?!?!?!?

Fast forward to the 33-second mark for perhaps the greatest call of a hat trick of all time.



That......was.......GREAT!!!!! And while I have honestly no idea how on earth he ever thought of calling a guy who got hat trick both The Cat In The Hat and The Mad Hatter, I am enjoying that call the more that I hear it. If Dickie V were running this blog, he would surely call that call, "Awesome with a Capital A, BABY!!!"
