Ovechkin cereal coming to a Giant near you

By Will Vitka

Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin’s next milestone? Gracing the cover of a cereal box. “Naturally flavored honey nut” Ovi O’s will be coming to Giant Food grocery stores, according to a Monday report by Caps blog Russian Machine Never Breaks. The outlet says an image of the cereal box was leaked and shared on a public Facebook group called “True Capitals Fan Zone” before being deleted. The image shows the Ovi O’s box with the Capitals’ Weagle logo, a print of Ovechkin’s autograph and the captain himself with his signature gap-tooth smile. “RMNB confirmed the product will land in Giant Food stores closer to hockey season and more news and details will come at a later date,” the blog wrote. Giant Food confirmed with WTOP in an email Tuesday evening, saying the cereal “is coming exclusively to Giant stores closer to hockey season. Unfortunately, at this time, there are no additional details.”

Now with Caps, Tuch recalls Holtby’s save on him in 2018 Final: ‘If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em’

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Tuch joins the Washington Capitals having already been part of a big moment in their history. It was Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2018. Tuch, then a member of the Vegas Golden Knights, swept the puck toward an open net — only for Capitals goalie Braden Holtby to make a stupendous save with a desperate reach of his stick and blocker. Washington held on to win 3-2, knotting the series on the way to a five-game triumph. “I talked to Holtby in the line afterward and he said it was the luckiest save of his life,” Tuch said Friday. “So that made me feel a little bit better — but not really at the same time, because he was shaking my hand after winning the Cup.” Tuch was in his first full season that year. Now he's a three-time 30-goal scorer the Capitals acquired in a trade this week with Buffalo. He spent four seasons with Vegas and then five with the Sabres.
