Alexander Ovechkin Treated A Puck To The Face Like It Was An Annoying Insect, Because It's The Cup.5/29/2018 — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) May 29, 2018 As if his play throughout the postseason hasn't provided enough of a reminder, let that Terminator-esque robotic reaction to taking some vulcanized rubber to the teeth serve as the ultimate sign that Alexander Oveckhin is currently more locked in than Putin's bet on the professional league he made sure to have fixed. Keeping in mind that we aren't exactly talking about someone whose money-maker was working with a positive profit margin as his dental didn't quite qualify him for a Crest commercial, it's still pretty damn intimidating to eat a puck to the face only to be transfixed on the following face-off. It's one thing to abuse your adrenaline in absorbing a shot to grill during gameplay, but to remain indestructibly dialed in while on the bench? Headlined by Braden Holtby having the rebound control of someone who dates a stripper to get over a breakup, the Capitals have some mild concerns headed into Game 2. Their annually criticized captain's unfazed focus, however, is most definitely not one of them, as it appears his switch has been flipped into high gear and this particular Russian machine never breaks.
