NHL Finals Tix (Twix?) from The Great 8 (8, 8, 8)

Alex Ovechkin recently joined the ranks of the twitterati last week and has an offer that no Washington Capitals fan, and few NHL fans, can refuse. Help Ovie reach 8,888 followers and if the Caps make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, Ovie will personally give 8 of his Twitter follows 2 playoff tickets each.

Their first-round, game-1 loss (4-3) to the Rangers wasn't the best way to start this competition off.  (Still, no one on the Rangers is offering to raffle off any Finals tickets on Twitter.  But then, if you played for the Rangers, odds are, you wouldn't be thinking about the Finals.)  So, add the Great 8 to your Twitter "following" list.
