You better believe Alex Ovechkin revelled in his Stanley Cup triumph
There were some doubts that Alex Ovechkin would ever win a Stanley Cup. There were no such concerns about him basking in the moment like few others ever had if a championship did come to pass.
After a 13-year wait, Ovechkin finally won the Stanley Cup on Thursday as the Washington Capitals overcame the expansion Vegas Golden Knights in five games.
And boy did he enjoy the hell out it.
You will, too.
