He already has the C sewn onto his shirt
Here’s a weird crossover: Alexander Ovechkin — a hockey stud who once responded to a question about his injury bysaying“I’m okay, Russian machine never breaks;” who eats an absolutebrick of carbs and saucebefore every home game; who seemingly unironicallyloves the song“My Neck, My Back” — is coming toWorld of Warshipsas an in-game commander.
Ovechkin, now a captain and a commander, will be part ofWorld of Warships‘ mid-October update. He can lead four different vessels: an American ship, a Soviet ship, and two more dual-nation fleets that allow the player to seamlessly switch back and between ships. Ovechkin’s US-to-Russia dual-nationality is a first forWorld of Warships.
There’s a lot of wacky and easy-to-love stuff going on with this crossover. But what’s the best? Is it Ovechkin voicing lines for the game? Is it this ship that’s painted in Washington Capitals colors? No, it’s this dang hockey rink sitting right on the runway of this aircraft carrier.
