Political Play: Palin drops puck at Flyers' game

Sarah Palin is hoping John McCain's campaign isn't on ice, but that's exactly where the GOP vice presidential nominee was Saturday in Philadelphia.

Palin was booed when she first stepped on the ice before the Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers to drop the ceremonial first puck. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described 'hockey mom,' is trying to turn Pennsylvania into a red state.

Palin waved to the crowd and smiled as the reaction quickly turned to polite applause. Her hair down and wearing her Tina Fey-glasses and a coat, Palin dropped the puck between Flyers center Mike Richards and Rangers center Scott Gomez. Gomez is from Alaska.

Ovechkin doesn't just talk a good game for Caps

Alex Ovechkin is hardly the first professional athlete to emphasize winning percentage above personal statistics, to maintain he's all about team, to insist he won't rest until he's earned a championship.

'I want to win the Stanley Cup; that's why we play hockey in the NHL,' he said during an interview at the Washington Capitals' charity golf event this week. 'I'm always that way. I want to do everything for the victory.'

Standard stuff, right?

Here, then, is what separates Ovechkin: He isn't just talk.
