WASHINGTON D.C. -- Over a decade into production, it's a show that keeps on delivering. Sure, some of the buildup when Sidney Crosby faces Alex Ovechkin gets old. Anything that has as much age as this rivalry sometimes does.
Then they take the ice, like they did Thursday night, and it's all a giant reminder why we can't take our eyes off these two. Crosby and Ovechkin showed once again that they still know how to put on a peak performance when the pressure is highest -- this time a playoff series that might just determine who raises the Stanley Cup this spring.
