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.

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