Alex Ovechkin Wears Vladimir Putin T-Shirt; Caps Golf, Go to NFL Football Game During Off Day

The Washington Capitals are out in Phoenix ahead of their game with the Coyotes on Tuesday. And our mustachioed heroes have made the most of their off day. Alex Ovechkin put on his favorite Vladimir Putin t-shirt and took a selfie with Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov. I’m pretty sure that shirt is honoring Putin and making him look like an action movie star, which, uh, yeah.

Other Caps players actually made it out of the hotel rooms.

Tom Wilson, Michael Latta, Justin Peters, Eric Fehr, Brooks Laich, and Joel Ward went to University of Phoenix Stadium to watch football. The Arizona Cardinals beat the Detroit Lions 14-6 to improve to 9-1. They have the league’s best record.

Liam O’Brien, Matt Niskanen, Jason Chimera, and Nate Schmidt went golfing, which is just like hockey but with cactuses and khakis apparently.

Tuesday can’t get here soon enough. Well maybe not for these guys.
