”The cup is with us. The cup is in Moscow [url=http://www.losangelesdodgersteamshop.com/authentic-rich-hill-jersey]Rich Hill Jersey[/url] , Russia,” Ovechkin said. ”I am very happy for the people that can see it and touch it. I am very [url=http://www.losangelesdodgersteamshop.com/authentic-maury-wills-jersey]Maury Wills Jersey[/url] , very happy.”

Ovechkin said he wishes the Russian soccer team well in its quarterfinal match against Croatia in Sochi.

”The national team did a great a job for the fans. Everyone is so happy. Miracles can happen. We are not far away from the final,” he said. ”We need to fight [url=http://www.sandiegopadresteamshop.com/authentic-matt-szczur-jersey]Matt Szczur Jersey[/url] , and our players understand it. They will do everything that they can.”

Ovechkin won his first Stanley Cup championship a month ago in his 13th season in Washington.

Other Russian NHL players are also interested in soccer. Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins posted a picture on Instagram showing himself on a luxury jet with Ilya Kovalchuk of the Los Angeles Kings and Alexander Radulov of the Dallas Stars.

”Flying to Sochi” was the caption.
