Players from around the league and people around the world couldn’t help but congratulate Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals after they captured the Stanley Cup last week. While some people missed out on the opportunity as soon as it happened, it’s better to congratulate them late than never, even if your message includes some savagery.

On Wednesday night Joe Pavelski’s grandmother, Mary Ann Pavelski, shared a congratulatory photo and tweet with Ovechkin but added in her own quick message.



Congratulations Alexander @ovi8 My grandson is going to get it next year. pic.twitter.com/LD0c6rvv7W — Mary Ann Pavelski (@Grandmapavs8) June 14, 2018

Grandma Pavelski steps up and makes the first hot take of the year, and we’re still many months away from puck drop. Can’t blame her for having all that confidence in her grandson and the Sharks, though. If anything, we would be concerned if she didn’t believe the Sharks are going to win it all next year.
