A bunch of years ago, I was at a Heat-Wizards game, back when the Heat had all those good players. Alex Ovechkin was sitting a few rows in front of me. Nobody made too big a deal about it, but when he walked up the isle I, Cool Dude that I am, yelled out, "Hey, Alex!" He completely ignored me, as he should have. Fans are the worst.When @MilesWood28 was 11, he made a promise to @ovi8… pic.twitter.com/DshJh3qpBG

I don't know if Ovechkin regularly roams the Verizon Center halls in his bathrobe, but I'm assuming this was a classic power move. Look kid, the bathrobe says, you may think you're funny, but I'm Alex Fucking Ovechkin. Hahaha )))The Devils beat the Capitals in a shootout, 2-1.Two points and an @ovi8 autograph. Not a bad trip to the nation's capital for @MilesWood28!
