Ovechkin is enjoying some fun in the sun

Jan 27, 2012, 1:00 PM EST

Before the All-Star Game roster was announced, Alex Ovechkin said he’d go on vacation if he wasn’t chosen. Then he was chosen. Then he was suspended. Then he said he wasn’t going to Ottawa because he was suspended. So now he’s on vacation in Florida, as website Alex Ovetjkin reports.

No angle here. I’d go somewhere warm if I could, too. Might not wear camo shorts though.

PS — Kids are still doing the flat-brimmed hat thing?
