Before he jumped from the Washington Capitals to sign with the Phoenix Coyotes as a free agent, Mike Ribeiro gave superstar Alex Ovechkin some interesting advice. "I actually told him to stop shooting high and try to go 5-hole a few times," Ribeiro said. "And he started shooting 5-hole. The thing there is that a lot of people are scared to talk to him because he's such a big [star] and I don't really care. I was just telling him what I thought and it helped him to change a bit, to give different looks to goalies." Ribeiro faces his former Washington mates today for the first time.
