Ovi working on his PhD?

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is one step away from earning a new, fancy title. Friday, the Federal Science Center of Sports and Culture at the Sports Ministry of the Russian Federation had a preliminary hearing and approved Ovechkin for the discussion and defense of his PhD dissertation. The topic of Ovechkin’s dissertation was “Comparative Analysis of Professional Hockey Training Methods in North America and Russia.”

According to Match TV, once Ovechkin’s dissertation is approved by the Science Council, he will become a PhD of Pedagogical Sciences (research-based education strategies to help young people learn).

I am literally rolling on the floor reading this. Ovechkin is such a huge Putin booster, so involved with Night League, that it's almost a certainty that he will get his PhD and that it's complete bullshit and means nothing. PhD dissertation. LMAO!!!

This has a certain "Hunter Biden, Burisma Board Member" air about it.

I would think Bertuzzi is staying put, now that the Leafs got McCann...

Kind of a weak return for the Coyotes to take on Ladd. I would have thought at minimum a 1st and probably a prospect.

If a player is put on LTIR (with the contract insured), does insurance pay signing bonuses or does the team pay it?
