Dead Capital
White Russian, without a cup
Alex Ovechkin is dead. It said on the internet when I was on my phone today. Apparently, he committed suicide on the night that the Pens beat the Caps once again in the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. His final tweet was:
@RealAlexOvechkin: (10 May 2018, 3:30 AM)
"I have had enough of being the loser every year. Because of that, I have decided to take my life. I loved and supported all of you who have supported me through these hard times, but it just isn't working enough, no offense. #Rockthered, and goodbye forever."
Even the tweet itself got 2K RETWEETS! Not to mention, a comment argument.

"Don't do it, Ovi!"
@RealAlexovechkin (10 May 2018, 3:37 AM)
"Why shouldn't I?"

"Isn't the President's Trophy enough?"
@RealAlexOvechkin (10 May 2018, 3:42 AM)
"I always get that. I never, EVER will get the Stanley Cup. That's why I have made my mind up, and I will now be in a place where winning doesn't matter, nor losing.I think you know what I mean."

"Oh, no! Don't you have anything else other than hockey to think about? A family? Your wife?"
@RealAlexOvechkin (10 May 2018, 3:48 AM)
"My entire family but me is dead. Besides, who wants to be married to a constant LOSER, let alone have a family with him?!"
@SandraDay (10 May 2018, 3:50 AM)
"So?"
@RealAlexOvechkin (10 May 2018, 3:55 AM)
"Bye, my loyal fan. Thanks for keeping my spirits up, so I would not have to go through this sooner, but even I knew it was going to happen someday. I have a family up there, waiting for me."

"You there, Ovi?"
@SandraDay (10 May 2018, 4:21 AM)
"Ovi?! Hello?! I'm scared!"

" SandraDay, this is Anastasia, Alex's wife. You cannot see it, but I am typing through my tear-blurred eyes. I walk into our bedroom, and my husband has...hung himself. I checked, and he has completely lost his pulse. I will send you a picture in PM's, just to show you."
