Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin recently spent several days in China as an ambassador to an NHL initiative to raise awareness and support for hockey and the league in China. Among the many stops The Great Eight made was the iconic Great Wall of China, and with the trip now over, the NHL took to Twitter to ask fans to “send” Ovechkin to other destinations via photoshop.
As one can imagine, the above photo gives fans a chance to be creative when creating their photo-shopped Ovi images, as the resulting posts will show:

Some sent Ovechkin back to the memorable summer of 2018, when he and the Capitals seemingly celebrated their first Stanley Cup championship all summer long:
