What does Alex Ovechkin do when faced with a full-frontal assault of media in Toronto questioning his motivation behind his infamous goal-scoring celebrations?  He equates celebrating scoring his 5oth goal celebration with celebrating a lottery win by drinking at a bar.  Well, I guess he’s right on that one.

The enigmatic Russian barely flinched when Toronto reporters chose to beat a dead horse just a little while longer.  Whether you find his antics entertaining or detrimental to the game, you gotta admit, the guy has a lot of balls to go along with his razzle-dazzle.

It’s a big number, I think for everybody. If I get it, why [can’t I] celebrate? If you win the lottery — a million dollars — you go to the bar and drink a lot, I scored 50 goals and I just celebrated.”
