Alex Ovechkin Explains the Closest He’s Ever Been to the Stanley Cup (GIFs)

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin was asked a simple but fascinating question after Monday’s practice by CSN’s Chuck Gormley. “The Stanley Cup will be in the building [Tuesday] night,” Gormley said. “What’s the closest you’ve ever been to the cup?”

Ovechkin gives the perfect answer.

"What's the closest you've ever been to the Stanley Cup?"

"And I just saw it. Maybe I take a picture. I can't remember"

"Did you touch it?"

"So you plan on touching it some day?" "Yeah. This year."

“This year.” (GIFs by alexovechkins)
