Alexander Ovechkin has finally won the Stanley Cup!

He did it! For 13 years, one of the best hockey players of the XXI century went to the coveted title, and finally the series of failures ended. Alexander Ovechkin became the first Russian captain of a National Hockey League team to lift the Stanley Cup over his head.

The fifth match of the NHL finals series between the Golden Knights and the Washington Capitals was held in Las Vegas. The team from the capital, which includes Russians Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov, won the match with a score of 4:3, and with it the series, and received the Stanley Cup.

Ovechkin won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs for the first time in his career. In addition, he became the best sniper of the playoffs, scoring 15 goals. Let's also note Kuznetsov's contribution, he and Ovi demonstrated an amazing game during the main segment of the season and fully deserved the victory.

There are two points to note here: 1. The girl is well done. I came and did my job. 2. Andre Burakowski also sets priorities correctly. pic.twitter.com/KPUjEIdSw2
