Stanley Cup champion Alex Ovechkin celebrated his 33rd birthday party in style, Monday night. Joined by his wife Nastya, his mom Tatyana, his agent David, his physical trainer Pavel, and his close friend Gus, Ovechkin ate at the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia, and feasted on three roasted ducks.
The Chinese restaurant, formerly frequented by 41st President of the United States George H. W. Bush, has its walls filled with framed photos of its most famous visitors like PSY, Duff Goldman, and George W. Bush. After winning his first championship, Ovechkin may now be its most famous.
At the end of the dinner, the staff came out and sang Ovechkin happy birthday in Chinese.
