Ovi is so chill he literally just wore a hoodie and pants to an interview

[@vlad2k3000]

He came to Kremlin to meet with Pres. Putin wearing flip flops and sweatpants

[@davemac9926]

He didn't just wear it. He "literally" wore it. Literally. Literally. Literally.

[@klakeron4209]

@@davemac9926 literally

[@MrCrockaG]

Surprised Ovi let the cup out of his hands long enough to sit down for an interview

[@kathrynfinn6388]

He had already taken his hands off of the Cup to swim in the fountain, you know? So, it did happen. :-)

[@karenhart8001]

Surprised he was sober enough to sit down for an interview 😂😂😂

[@TerryFGM]

you do know its a replica, right?

[@karenhart8001]

TerryFGM yeah No it’s not

[@MrCrockaG]

To be clear, there are three very legit Stanley Cups out there...none of the three are replicas. One is in the HHOF, one here, and one is elsewhere.

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

Any drink must taste that much better in the Stanley Cup

[@nightnightfire644]

jaguar is gross but I’d be like fuck it let’s drink the fuck out of it with the Stanley cup

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

J-rod H absolutely!!

[@smoothoperator5572]

a little hot sax fallon 😂😂😂

[@aresef]

Even Bud Light

[@Sharon-zu7oq]

aresef lol...i bet 😂

[@edmontonboy99]

I wish more NHL players could make appearances in talk-shows. I know Quick and Kopitar made an appearance on Ellen, but still, I want to see more players on talk shows.

[@elijahstahl9086]

Still waiting for mcdavid...

[@benjaminhertzog5951]

Elijah Stahl McDavid is a wonderful player, but he might not be as good as like Subban or Scott Hartnell.

[@benjaminhertzog5951]

Dylan Puri, oh absolutely, I’m not say he is a terrible player. I’m just not sure he would interesting to interview.

[@bigfistman3222]

​@@benjaminhertzog5951 Connor McDavid: An absolute beauty on the ice, but an absolute bore in his postgame interviews

[@SIdCon03]

I think the league does a terrible job really promoting their players into the brand names they should be. I mean honestly you may not even like basketball but everyone knows who LeBron is, who Steph is, KD, Kobe, MJ etc. You can’t do the same for Hockey players. Maybe Gretzky. If they can have players doing things like this it would make them look a lot more interesting

[@mileslane4151]

It's a good thing we have youtube, cuz Ovi's definitely too faded to remember this

[@puffdaddy69]

Holtby looks like he’s been up for 4 days doing cocaine

[@Krista1D]

Umm I don't think cocaine. Just loads and loads of beer and vodka

[@tmorin008]

BiG CRAWFS yeah bro, definitely cocaine

[@bonelessman1]

Def cocaine hahaha

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

I am not a big hockey fan and don't really follow it during the regular season. But I do watch playoff hockey and it is awesome. For many years I would hear about Alexander Ovechkin, ''The Great 8''. So I began to follow the guy because I have an appreciation for greatness in any sport. I rooted for this guy so hard in this playoffs because he has been great for a long time but his teams would fall short year after year. I am so happy that he finally won the Stanley Cup. Well done Alex and congratulations to the Washington Capitals.

[@stevebanning902]

not that our teams would fall short .. it's that the pens would always rob us.. The caps dominated in the 2010's

[@LoPro]

Jimmy Fallon was almost as nervous talking to these guys as Vegas fans were going into Game 5

[@BrickSquad1017613]

oof

[@Derrick2shot]

hahaaa

[@Adi_1922]

No not at all. We were much more nervous going into game 5

[@michaeljoseph8674]

Ovie is the best..You got to love him..Happy for him

[@willsanford6706]

After watching this I realized jimmy Fallon does not watch hockey nor know anything about hockey.

[@SuperSprocket10]

Will Sanford he actually does go to ranger games

[@MolarcnShifty]

That's alright, bringing Ovie and Holtbeast out there on the "mainstream" is a special moment for the Caps, Hockey, and that beautiful Lord Stanley's Cup!

[@NorthcoastCivil]

further proving Will's point

[@wundawuman7476]

Will Sanford you sir....are correct.... could not agree more

[@clorpy897]

Ciaran Dwyer he just goes to random sporting events for publicity. Lots of celebrities do it but very few are legitimate fans of whatever team they go to see.

[@punchoux1]

im from canada but im so happy for Washington DC and the fans and Ovechkin they deserve it!!

[@davidwalsh4618]

punchoux1 it's been unreal

[@user-sb1mc1dm8p]

Yeah

[@marvinuhilarious]

Why don't u guys try to win the Cup one time?

[@marvinuhilarious]

@@dylan4300 Hahahahahahaha. Its just a bit of banter, my fellow Canuck. Seems as though that no one has a chance to get a crack at the cup this year, though... Atleast, Toronto won the NBA finals last year

[@russellgarcia6920]

Ovi has been on a 96 hour drunken binge. It’s great!!!! #ALLCAPS

[@jaideepbura1936]

Legend has it he is still drinking to this day....

[@russellgarcia6920]

The legend of Ovi has begun lol.

[@joshkusiak7613]

Jaideep Bura still is.

[@keeganmeyers-martinson1721]

So glad to see Holtbeast, Ovi, Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Buraskovsky etc all enjoying their time with the cup!!!!!

[@alexanderpostnikov4981]

kuzya the best!

[@mooselumps1]

Best trophy in sports

[@mooselumps1]

Osc1llateW1ldly nope :D

[@mooselumps1]

Osc1llateW1ldly i just think yhe Stanley cup is the best

[@mooselumps1]

Osc1llateW1ldly i wasnt talking about age. I just think it looks the best

[@pottytheparrot310]

Osc1llateW1ldly Stanley Cup is unique. You get your names on it, drink out of it, spend the day with it I even seen players baptize their babies in there

[@mooselumps1]

Jalen Brito yup :D

[@nemanjamocevic6054]

Ovechkin is a living legend!!!! 💪

[@930tomp]

Ovi was already a huge star in the DC area and very well known by all hockey fans, but this win and his pure joy, has cemented him as not just one of the greatest players ever, but also as one of the most likable players. I can't wait for his HHOF acceptance speech.

[@kainoskairos]

After all the stuff Ovi has had to go through, all the expectations, the comparisons, it was really weighing on him but he was still such a good guy about it......and now he finally has the Cup and he deserves it. Ovechkin will no longer be overlooked and he goes down automatically as one of the all time greatest now. From a Crosby fan. Congrats OVI!!!

[@HELLAVOC]

HOLTBEAST

[@katzistan]

Too bad Fallon didn't let them speak at all.

[@tntjoko319]

katzistan Braden Holtby talked quite a bit. He also let Ovi talked

[@sk8terboy2823]

I don’t think they wanted to talk that much. Jimmy kept talking so there wouldn’t just be silence

[@bpolangin]

Exactly. He's the worst interviewer

[@LaszloMag]

I don't agree. These guys are not media trained in the same way as most of the celebs that come on his show. Ovie and Holtby both seemed to be out of their comfort zones - Fallon was doing the right thing trying o get the conversation going in different directions, otherwise they'd be sitting there having an awkward moment. Happy to see Ovie finally win it!

[@hutch2210]

he has to keep the convo going as ovi doesn't speak english well and it must be hard to be on tv like that. plus theyre probably quite hungover

[@19Log19]

Great to see this interview.

[@M4KERB]

God damn I love Fallon. Huge congrats to Braden, Ovi and the rest of the Washington Caps. Ovi you deserve that cup, you're a beast and you work so hard, very well deserved.

[@VaDonteWilliams]

Them dumping Jimmy's face in there was pretty 😂😂😂.

[@HardRockMiner]

The most beautiful trophy in all of sports.

[@gtibro6799]

HardRockMiner world cup is the most beautiful trophy and that's a fact

[@HardRockMiner]

MTL Sniper - Stop sniffing paint. The world cup is a fucking hood ornament next to Lord Stanley's Cup. Fact.

[@gtibro6799]

HardRockMiner listen to the word WORLD and listen to stanley , which ONE would be known

[@gtibro6799]

HardRockMiner winning the world cup is a much more appreciated trophy in all sports. That's a fact!

[@HardRockMiner]

MTL Sniper - Dont be stupid. Names don't mean shit. Look at them side by side and you'll see which one looks like a real trophy.

[@lia-rl3fg]

I love Ovi♥️ #best player ever

[@John-mp6km]

brayden and ovi seem like such cool guys, it would be fun chilling with them in real life.

[@PositiveVibeMedia]

Hell Yea Capitals!!! Ovi deserved it! Holtby came to our show on Saturday in D.C. with Higher Education. It was crazy!

So happy for my boys being on the show. ALLCAPS!!.

Ovi's smile is so awesome. All man.

It wouldn't shock me at all if Bergevin signed him for 5 yrs 28 million. He's made way dumber moves in his stint in MTL. he's ruined this team completely.

Alex Ovechkin's outfit is amazing. He's just like: "Yeah, it's me. Yeah, I'm in second for most goals all time" *Wears a hoodie, t-shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers. Tell me NHL players are modest without telling me NHL players are modest
