If there’s one person who’s excited for this year’s Winter Classic, it’s Alex Ovechkin. The Russian machine went nuts on Instagram this morning, posting a bunch of photos and dizzying video before their 11:30am practice.
Ovechkin: “Dear people of Russia. We congratulate you with New Year, and wish you health, success, and all the best in the new year. That’s all. Peace out. We are heading off to practice.”
