Superstar Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin capped off an extraordinary comeback in Sunday’s afternoon game against the Pittsburgh Penguins by leading the New Orleans Saints to their first Super Bowl win, feeding a group of starving ophans and personally digging out the White House from record-breaking snowfall.
Following his hat-trick performance in Saturday’s win in Washington, Ovechkin immediately drove down to Miami where he caught what was eventually the game-winning touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Brees to put the Saints up for good 24-17 in the third quarter.
“He just came into the locker room at halftime and said ‘I got this one guys,’ ” Brees said afterwards. “Shockey was drinking beer in the corner so he just stole his equipment. Next thing you know, we had won the game. Guy’s a freak.”
It is believed that on the way down to Miami, Ovechkin stopped at the Weebly Willickers Orphanage in Rappahannock, Va. and delivered a truckload of food to four dozen snowbound orphans. White House staffers also reported seeing “some Russian guy in a Capitals jersey” shoveling snow outside of several national monuments, including 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. itself.
Reporters attempted to stop Ovechkin for comment, but minutes after the Super Bowl he had left.
“I walked up to him to ask him about the game, and you know, what the fuck he was doing there and he brushed me aside,” said Miami Herald reporter John Jacobs. “He said ‘I have to go, the nation needs comprehensive health care reform.’ ”
The Capitals next take the ice on Wednesday, when they will face off against the Montreal Canadians. Reports early Monday stated that Ovechkin had already scored two goals in the game.
