Ovechkin hosting Alberta family on the road vs. Flames
You remember Cash, the fan decked out in Washington Capitals gear in Edmonton who Alex Ovechkin dumped a stick over the glass for? Well, he and his family have taken the 8-year-old's birthday celebration out on the road with the Capitals.
Because a game-used stick simply wouldn't suffice for a loyal supporter (who could just as easily lay his allegiances with that Connor McDavid fella), Ovechkin invited Cash and his family a couple hundred miles or so south to be in attendance for Sunday's game versus the Calgary Flames.
Remember Cash from Edmonton? @ovi8 invited him and his family to come to tonight's game in Calgary and they'll meet after the game! #Gr8 pic.twitter.com/q43mZK3NoX

Ovechkin will meet one of his biggest, if not the biggest fan he has in Western Canada after the game.
