Alex Ovechkin has now joined an exclusive list that includes Tom Wilson, Andre Burakovsky, and Michael Latta. Ovechkin, the NHL’s three-time MVP and one of the greatest goal-scorers ever, rode a dolphin in Cuba.
Ovechkin’s wife Nastya posted video of the epic sheep-cetacean interaction and it’s about as amazing as you’d imagine.

Ovechkin rode the dolphin around in a circle.
The Russian machine did a Superman pose.
The bottlenose dolphin then gave Ovi a kiss to remember it by.
I suppose this is what you graduate to after swimming in a shallow fountain.
The Ovechkins are currently staying at the Paradisus Los Cayos in Cuba. The hotel made a customized Stanley Cup welcome video for him and his family. Ovechkin has played ping pong, buried his family in the sand, and of course danced.
The Capitals bye week ends Thursday. The Capitals take on Calgary on Friday.
