Alex Ovechkin is back serving Papa John’s pizzas to the good people of the DMV! While we’ve seen Ovechkin star in commercials for Papa John’s before, this specific delivery had less of a subtle drop-off than what we’re used to seeing.
As the @Capitals are about to begin the quest for #Back2Back, we’d like to take this time to remind everyone that #PizzasHere🍕 when you need it most, just like @ovi8, who always delivers in the clutch.#ALLCAPS pic.twitter.com/RcB4fXrfnC

The commercial begins with two guys on the couch complaining about their hunger. Who answers the call? Of course, Ovechkin…but he completely knocks the door down with a gap-toothed smile and his signature phrase, “Pizza’s here!”
Being the gentleman that he is, he did apologize to the men saying, “Sorry about your door.” After delivering the pizza, he puts the door back up with a simple, “Bye.”
Ovi knocking stuff down with Hulk-like ease? Hmm, where have we seen that before? Maybe ask the Lightning’s Braydon Coburn, who got flattened by Ovi just as Ovi scored his 50th goal of the season.
