One would assume that Sergei Ovechkin's favorite player is his dad. You know, the guy closing in on the all-time goals record.

Alas, no.

Instead, Sergei Ovechkin's list of favorite non-Capitals players includes Connor McDavid (not surprising), Sidney Crosby (a little surprising) and the like. But his favorite Washington Capitals player has to be his dad. Right?

Wrong.
