The Washington Capitals have broken through to the Eastern Conference Finals, which means that they are officially under the microscope.
Every detail that would otherwise be ignored becomes newsworthy. And Caps star Alex Ovechkin is right at the heart of it.
Thanks to Brooks Orpik, we know that Alex Ovechkin consumes enough food to be "borderline inspiring" to his teammates.
Because of USA TODAY photographers, we know that he wore a suit to the stadium in Tampa today.
We also know that the Lightning warm up around a basketball hoop, shooting around before hitting the ice.
Across the stadium, the Caps players warm up by playing soccer, which is fairly well known by fans of the team.
What might not be well known is that Ale Ovechkin wears a knit cap, a Caps hoodie, and short spandex pants.
And that's about it. You've been warned:
This is the playoffs spotlight that Ovechkin has long sought. That doesn't mean he has to wear pants.
