I guess that drinking huge amounts of alcohol the night before games must be his secret for playing so well.  For the record, the Capitals beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 the next night and Ovechkin didn’t register a single point, I wonder why?

Here is another picture from the event which shows Ovechkin with  teammate Nicklas Backstrom, who looks like he is still waiting for puberty to hit.  It is also interesting to note, as per people present at the event, that Backstrom seemed completely sober, which was in stark contrast to Ovechkin, who sort of looked like a Vampire with a uni-brow.

Thanks to BDON for the pics.
