Earlier this evening, Alex Ovechkin took questions from reporters ahead of Wednesday’s night NHL Awards ceremony. Ovechkin’s first question was difficult, but he navigated it with ease.

“Still got your uniform on,” the unknown reporter says, making reference to Ovechkin’s new, freshly-stitched Caps third jersey.

“Biggest fan,” a smiling Ovi responds, imitating a fan boy.

I’m still not sure if Ovechkin meant he was the biggest fan of Alex Ovechkin or the Washington Capitals, but past evidence would suggest Ovi is indeed an Alex Ovechkin superfan.

During Caps Casino Night in 2014, Ovechkin entered a raffle to meet himself.

Maybe Ovi has a lot more in common with former Capital Jaromir Jagr than we’d like to think.
