Ovi’s smiles are getting progressively weirder as the night goes on. (Photo credit: @ovi8)
With Alex Ovechkin scoring his 700th point and the Capitals escaping Raleigh with a win over division-leading Carolina, the players were in a festive mood. That might explain why half the team started tweeting after the game, shooting congratulations to Ovi (#respect), describing the victory with a three-letter word, and posting… well… other weird things.
Take a look for yourself.

Ovechkin with his 700th career point tonight. Amongst all the criticism, no doubt still one of the best players in the league #respect
