This was Ovechkin's personal blog but he stopped updating it in 2008:

This was awesome but I don't think it's being updated now:

Slava Malamud from Arlington regularly writes about the Caps for Russia's "Sport-Express" and gets some Russian interview goodness:

http://hockey.sport-express.ru/reviews/13686/

This article starts out with a discussion of nagging injuries Ovechkin played through, including arthroscopic surgery. Later Ovechkin says he wants to go back to his old trainer that he worked with when he was 16, get some advice on how to improve as a player. Semin answers some pestering questions about not getting chosen to play for the World Championships. Varlamov says sitting on the bench sucks.

Sergey Kocharov, Russian-speaking new head of PR for the Caps, pointed me to this link for up to date Russian news on the Caps:

I'll try to pick up interesting stories from here.
