When you win the Stanley Cup, a ton of perks come along with it. Taking it downtown, taking it to a Nationals game and even an appearance on “The Tonight Show”. Set your DVRs Caps fans because on Monday June 11 at 11:35 p.m., Alex Ovechkin and Braden Holtby will visit NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”. 

Before the playoffs began, Fallon handed out Superlatives for NHL players. Ovechkin was voted “Most Likely to be Standing Next to a Wolly Mammoth in a Diorama at the Natural History Museum”.

Before the Stanley Cup Finals, Ovechkin was voted “Most Likely to Tell His Barber ‘I’m Not Angry, I’m Just Disappointed.” Holtby was voted “Most Likely to Comb His Neck.” They weren’t the only two Capitals featured in the video below:
