#OTD in 1976 – The ‘Sallins Train Robbery’.

I’m not struck on a deep emotional level by these tweets at all. Nope.

They ride the elevator in silence, stone-faced, not a peep. Nothing in the young men’s manner suggests anything notable has happened.
Alex Ovechkin is 22 years old. Nicklas Backstrom is 20. There are many happy and crushing days ahead they can’t yet see. Memorable moments and a string of devastating losses will come. Ovechkin will eventually marry. Backstrom will twice become a father. They will forever be intertwined for their work on the ice.
That’s in the future, though. None of it matters tonight. Ovechkin has just signed a 13-year, $124 million contract with the Washington Capitals, who announced it on stage during a meet-and-greet for an estimated 3,000 season-ticket holders at Verizon Center on a Thursday in January.
The elevator doors open onto the parking garage below the arena. Ovechkin and Backstrom say a polite goodnight to a reporter and walk wordlessly toward a car. They slide in, Ovechkin at the wheel, and the door shuts. For a beat, the hum of the empty garage is the only sound.
But from behind tinted windows the quiet shatters. Ovechkin lets out a scream. He cackles and punches Backstrom in the shoulder. They shove each other and laugh and laugh at their fortune. The engine roars to life, then the car zips up the exit ramp and into the Washington night.
“It was like yesterday,” Ovechkin said this week.
Unlocked article from The Sports Capitol, which opens with a flashback to a Ovechkin and Backstrom moment Brian McNally once described on twitter, when Ovechkin first signed his 13 year contract extension. It’s good.
