After losing to the Penguins on Tuesday, the Washington Capitals have ripped off three straight road wins. Led by Alex Ovechkin, who scored four goals (plus a shootout tally) and seven points during the winning streak, the Capitals are now two points out of eighth place in the East. That has made Ovi happppppy.

Journey back to Thursday, when the Capitals played their first game of a back-to-back set against the Jets. At the end of regulation, a subdued Ovi raised his hand and tells Jets fans, “Yes. Yes, I am the man.” Happppppyness level: 4.

The next night, Sasha got a little bit more expressive, giving us the double peace sign after the Caps thrashed the Jets 6-1. It was the first time we’ve seen him get that gangster since his rap debut with Sasha Belyi. Happppppyness level: 7.
