If I told you that one of the Caps' Russian superstars was at one time engaged to a mediocre, young female tennis player, you'd think nothing of it - the whole world knows about Sergei Fedorov and Anna Kournikova's history.But if I told you I was talking about Alex Ovechkin, that might be news.
According to The Charlottesville Daily Progress, Olga Puchkova, the No. 2 seed at this week's Boyd Tinsley (of Dave Matthews Band fame) USTA Women's Pro Tennis Championships, "says she was once engaged to Washington Capitals superstar Alexander Ovechkin."I knew plenty of the younger Russian NHLers had idolized Fedorov growing up... I guess I just didn't know how much.

1) What were they 'engaged' when they were 12 or something? Or perhaps in Russia that word has a slightly different meaning than in the west? ; )
Good for Ovie!
If I say that I was once engaged to Ovie sometime in the past in some undisclosed location, will that get my name and picture in the paper too?
She's not a terrible player, although she's nowhere near as good as Kournikova was.
