Ovechkin and Crosby renew rivalry in Washington

Once upon a time it was the rivalry for the future of hockey, now it’s two grizzled vets going head to head, tonight in Washington: Ovechkin vs Crosby,.

Hard to believe it’s Year 17 for the Ovi and Sid rivalry, two superstars that have gone from the babyfaced sign of things to come to grey-haired veterans leading their teams from the front. 

One thing that has stayed consistent, the whole time: these are two of the marquee players in the league, and even after 2,200 games and 1,000 goals between them, they’re still among the best in the world at what they do. 

Somethings gotta give as the Pens are 6-2 in their last 8 on the road and the Caps are 6-1 in their last 7 at home. It’s always a must-see game when these two go head-to-head, and we’re going to take Ovi to get the upper hand in this one, take the Caps a home -135, and over 6.0 goals +105.
