This has got to be my favorite picture of Alex Ovechkin I took today. Just on his face you can see how much this means to all of him, and how much he loves being a Washington Capital. "If I love, I love, you know? It's only one love. I love Dynamo, and I love Capitals." https://t.co/5ZSZEhtr0Q

Best of luck to one of the best in the business! Congratulations and enjoy every moment

We’re just a few short days away from welcoming our baby girl! I’ll be stepping away for a bit to soak up every moment. I can’t thank you all enough for the love, support, & encouragement throughout this special season of life. Baby girl will be ready to Rock the Red❤️ #ALLCAPS

Ted Leonsis says the Capitals will do what they can to keep Alex Ovechkin involved in the Capitals organization after he hangs up the skates.

Alex Ovechkin reenacts his draft of Nicklas Backstrom https://t.co/NZzjsqGwrA

T.J. Oshie says he remembers Alex Ovechkin running into him with a big hit at the Olympics… and as a teammate from time to time.

Nicklas Backstrom said he told Alex Ovechkin after breaking the record something along the lines of “I’m so happy for you, buddy.” “Then I got a kiss on the cheek.”

Alex Ovechkin says for years it was so frustrating because the Capitals were great on paper but just weren’t winning, so the moment he and Nicklas Backstrom hugged after winning the Stanley Cup, that was everything to him.

The best part of this is as Alex Ovechkin is speaking, the goats are still here bleating in between the conversation. GOATs everywhere 🐐

Nicklas Backstrom told Alex Ovechkin today, “I love you.” Ovi said he said back, “I love you more.”

Ovechkin said he first thought 895 would be possible at the start of this year. “If you look at all my goals, it’s obviously you have to shoot the puck but all the work was my teammates. Tremendous.” #ALLCAPS

Ovi jokes he can sign for 13 more years
