Watch: Ovi does keg stand from Stanley Cup, takes dip in fountain

By Nahal Amouzadeh

WASHINGTON — Oh, yes, he did: Washington Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin did a keg stand from the Stanley Cup and took a dip in a fountain during the Caps’ long celebration after winning the Cup on Thursday. A Caps’ fan tweeted a video of Ovi doing what many have only dreamed. See below.

Another fan caught Ovi, among others, taking a cooling dip in a shallow fountain on the Georgetown waterfront. Ovi can be seen flopping onto his stomach and pretending to swim, before doing a few, casual push-ups.

Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky commented on Ovi’s time in the fountain, too.

Can’t say we wouldn’t do the same if we won the Stanley Cup. Ovechkin is living his best life and we salute him!

The Stanley Cup window is still open for the Washington Capitals. On paper, the team that won it all two years ago has the depth and talent to win another championship. Of course, the game is still played on ice. After winning the Metropolitan Division in the regular season, the Capitals had a chance at the top seed in the Eastern Conference, but managed only one win and five goals in three games in the round-robin tournament for playoff seeding. So, the Capitals will be a third seed as they open a best-of-seven first-round playoff series against the New York Islanders on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
