Alex Ovechkin meets his wax self at Madame Tussauds

By Lindsay Applebaum

Yup, that gap looks to be about right. (Matt McClain - FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) Above, Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin and his father, Mikhail, check out the two-time MVP’s wax likeness at the Madame Tussauds unveiling this afternoon. Ovechkin joins Wayne Gretzky as the only two hockey players to be immortalized in wax.
