Alex Ovechkin is a master on the ice, but recently, the NHL wanted to know how good of a gamer he is off of it.<\/p>\n
The league challenged Alex Ovechkin to locate his face in a game they created for social media entitled \u201cFind Alex Ovechkin.\u201d Basically, dozens of different hockey players\u2019 heads bounce off the sides of the screen as the bio pic of Ovechkin hides behind them in the background.<\/p>\n
Now, you might assume because Ovi\u2019s Ovi, and he\u2019s lived in his body for 40 years, the goal-scoring GOAT would point himself out instantly. But you\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n
The video begins with Ovechkin sitting at his locker inside MedStar Capitals Iceplex as an NHL producer approaches.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake [my phone],\u201d the producer says. \u201cWhen you see your face, hold it to pause.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ten seconds go by.<\/p>\n
\u201cFind you?\u201d The producer asks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t,\u201d a frustrated Ovechkin replies.<\/p>\n
More time goes by.<\/p>\n
\u201cGeez,\u201d Ovechkin says. \u201cAre you sure I\u2019m there?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ovechkin bends over and looks closer. Twenty more seconds elapse.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t find it,\u201d Ovechkin says, struggling.<\/p>\n
As the experience approaches a minute, the producer gives Ovechkin a tip and tells him his thumb on the phone to pause the video and look closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t find it,\u201d Ovechkin says after some further close studying. \u201cAre you sure I\u2019m there?\u201d<\/p>\n
Ovechkin lets go of the frame and advances it for another second.<\/p>\n
\u201cOH! I SEE IT!\u201d he says excitedly. \u201cYeah! Found it!\u201d<\/p>\n
