Alex Ovechkin Lets Go Of Stanley Cup Just Long Enough To Botch Ceremonial First Pitch, Drunkenly Sing "We Are The Champions"

I demand 24-hour video coverage of Alex Ovechkin hoisting the Cup at increasingly mundane events in his new life as a champion. A charity event. A random fan encounter. The grocery store. The DMV. While brushing his teeth in the morning. The Caps are just having the best damn time.
