Ovechkin played the long game and just wanted to win in Vegas. Veteran party move

An Australian ice hockey player just hoisted the Stanley Cup, a real and true sentence. What a time to be alive.

Just spoke with Ilya Kovalchuk who is beyond happy for his countryman Alex Ovechkin: ``It’s just great, I’m so happy for him, I already texted him to congratulate him. It’s great to see a guy win who gives to the game so much.'' Will have more in my Ovechkin column later tonight
