Alex Ovechkin is becoming more and more like that crazy shop teacher you had in middle school.
During the second period, Ovechkin pulled a blow torch out of nowhere and started fixing his wonky helmet on the bench.

Yes, that’s hockey’s most famous player playing with fire inches away from other humans and live NHL action. I don’t know about this one, you guys.

If blowtorches are readily available like that in the NHL, we could really amp up the hot stick celebration.

Update: Ovechkin used the blow torch to get a sticker off his visor.
Update: Ovechkin tells The Athletic that he was using the blowtorch to remove a sticker from his visor. Says it was driving him crazy and he couldn’t get it off. 😂 #Caps
