Want: Great 8 Chain & Pendant Necklace
Mr. Irrelevant — ... Alex Ovechkin’s replica necklace, but it’s .925 of sterling awesome.

In any event, congrats to last season’s MVP on winning November’s Player of the Month. Twenty-five points in 14 games is not to be trifled with. (Thanks to Puck Daddy’s Greg Wyshynski for the phantom assist.)
