For the Ovechkins, the gr8est days of the summer all end in 8.
For instance, on Monday, the Ovechkins celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary on Instagram by posting photos of themselves together with captions celebrating their love.
Nikita Kucherov is a virtual lock to be the NHL MVP this season while Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin are likely Hall of Fame players when their hockey careers are over. Yet Team Russia, with all that individual firepower, can struggle to play together on the big stage against teams considered to be lesser opponents – at least on paper. And on Saturday, the Russian national team was upset by Finland 1-0 in the semifinals of the IIHF World Championship. Since 2009, Team Russia is 5-6 in the semis, and that frustration has started to boil over among fans and reporters.
But Nastya Ovechkina was not having any of it. Nastya took to Instagram after the game to encourage Team Russia fans to get a grip. It appears she used Caps fans as a positive example.
The cutest couple in hockey is back at it again.
After Russia beat the United States in the World Championship quarterfinals on Thursday, Alex Ovechkin located his wife Nastya Ovechkina in the stands of the lower bowl. He waved dramatically.
This continues an adorable tradition we first noticed during the Capitals’ 2018-19 regular season.

Time is flying by. Monday, Alex Ovechkin’s son Sergei celebrated his six-month birthday. Thousands of miles away on the Capitals West Coast road trip, Papa Ovi had a solution so he could still be part of the birthday celebration.
The Dadvechkin sent Mom a flower arrangement which included blue hydrangeas and white roses. He also sent his son a bear made out of flowers.
Wednesday night, just before returning to practice from their All Star-slash-bye-week break, Caps stars Alex Ovechkin and Dmitry Orlov, together with their wives, Nastya and Varvara, and Tatyana Ovechkina attended a concert at The George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium by famed Russian singer-songwriter Aleksandr Rozenbaum.
Rozenbaum was a longtime friend of Nastya’s mother, Russian actress and director Vera Glagoleva, who died in August 2017 at the age of 61.
Of course, the whole affair was well-documented on Instagram.
