We’re a week away from the 2017 NHL All-Star Game, and NBC is stepping up its promotion. Monday, NBC released a variation of its original ASG commercial.
It prominently features Alex Ovechkin.
Ovi is going full Hollywood for the All-Star Game.

“Say hello to my little friend,” Ovi says, doing his best Al Pacino impression.
The Russian machine’s emphasis might be off, but this is so much less creepy than Patrick Kane uttering the line.
Here are the other clips that have been released.
