We’re Not Going To Be Suck This Year

Not suck: Here’s Alex Ovechkin holding a RMNB beanie

The Washington Capitals spent Wednesday afternoon in Toronto taking in some hockey history with a tour of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s Resource Centre before donating a Capitals Stanley Cup ring to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Players had the opportunity to check out a massive vault of game-used sticks, game footage, and jerseys stored at the D.K. (Doc) Seaman Hockey Resource Centre. Tom Wilson and Alex Ovechkin got the chance to check out the sticks used by hockey legends like Wayne Gretzky and Maurice “Rocket” Richard.

But one hockey artifact caught our eye, and from the looks of it, Ovi’s too!

Meet the ‘Not Going To Be Suck’ Jeep. It has a replica Stanley Cup strapped to the roof. Alex Ovechkin liked it on Instagram.

A Caps-decorated Jeep is becoming a familiar sight for fans leaving Capital One Arena after home games.

Often parked across the street from the arena on F St, the white Jeep is covered in Capitals logos and decked out with flags. The front windshield reads “Holtbeast” and the back windshield reads “Back to back.”

But most striking of all is the massive six-foot replica of the Stanley Cup that is strapped to the top of the car with Alex Ovechkin‘s face on the Cup’s base, along with the slogan he gave the Caps at the start of the 2017-18 season: “We’re not going to be suck this year!”
