A nacho pizza, inspired by Alex Ovechkin’s love of concession stand food, will be sold by Papa John’s Russia

Alex Ovechkin is back at it again. He’s been a pizza delivery guy, a pizza chef, and now he’s a pizza muse.

Papa John’s Russia will be adding a brand new pizza to their menu, and according to the company, this cheesy, crunchy concoction is inspired by Ovechkin’s love of nachos. Ovechkin’s first signed an endorsement deal with Papa John’s in 2015 and has been hawking pizzas for Papa John’s Russia since 2017.

Ovechkin recently made the new nacho pizza for himself at a Papa John’s kitchen in Russia.

It’s… different.

Tiny Caps fan screams, slams door on Alex Ovechkin when he sees Caps captain delivering family’s pizza

Friday night, Alex Ovechkin delivered pizzas as part of multi-year promotional deal he inked with Papa John’s. While the event was pre-planned, the reactions of the people receiving the pizzas were organic.

One fan “didn’t do sports” and had no idea who Ovechkin was. During another stop, magic happened. A tiny Caps fan peeked out the front door, noticed who was approaching, screeched something unintelligible, and ran back inside unable to contain his excitement.

“Okay,” Ovechkin said laughing, continuing his approach up the stairs.

Papa John’s is giving away a free large pizza to everyone who plays in the RMNB Hockey Tournament

This Saturday, we are hosting our first ever hockey tournament at the Michael & Son Sportsplex in Rockville. The funds raised from the game will benefit the Russian Machine Never Brakes campaign to get Caps fan Ryan Ellis into the Dover Xfinity race on October 1. We already announced that the two champions of each league (recreational and advanced) will have the opportunity to raise the GR8 Missing Tooth Trophy (that Nathan spent like three weeks making).

Tonight we have some even more exciting news to share. National pizza chain Papa John’s has graciously agreed to donate one free large pizza coupon to every person who plays in our tournament. For those keeping track at home, that’s 88 free pizzas. And that’s perfect for the Papa John’s brand. Last season, Papa John’s teamed up with the Great Eight himself, Alex Ovechkin, and donated money to charity for every $8 pizza that was bought.

So now Saturday is not only a hockey party, but it’s a pizza party as well.

We still have FOUR openings left for the tournament. If you’d like to join us, you can purchase your ticket here. Our fundraiser ends Thursday so basically, sign up RIGHT now or you’re going to miss out.

Barry Trotz Did Not Enjoy Dmitry Orlov’s Pizza

The Capitals gave up one goal Monday night in their 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The victory clinched the President’s Trophy, but Barry Trotz wasn’t happy. He wanted a shutout.

“What I liked about us is that we didn’t give [the Blue Jackets] much,” Trotz said. “Their goal, I thought this could have have been a team shutout. I didn’t think Holts was worked too hard.”

Trotz was referring to Cam Atkinson’s 27th goal of the season that came late in the first period. The Blue Jackets forward scored after Dmitry Orlov turned the puck over in the defensive zone.
