So far today, hundreds of readers and Caps fans have participated in #TweetLikeOviDay – our made-up holiday to celebrate Alex Ovechkin’s word salad.
You can now add one more person to that list: Alex freaking Ovechkin.

Tuesday afternoon, Ovechkin tweeted “hahaha!! thx [sic] 4 one the best day of yer [sic unbelievable].”
This is the second time Ovi has participated, including in 2014 when the Russian machine offered free signed hats to his favorite imitators.
