Alex Ovechkin finally lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time is a moment he'll never forget and one that will go down in hockey history as one of the greatest of all-time.

The joy on Ovi's face when he finally touched the Cup and lifted it over his head for the first time was so incredible to see because you can tell by his facial expression alone how much that moment meant to him.

That iconic picture is probably one a lot of Capitals fans are using as their phone background right now and it's one that inspired Reddit User ShannonRossx to recreate it by drawing it.

Again, that's a DRAWING that looks identical to the actual picture.

If you just glanced at the drawing quickly, you'd probably mistake it for the real picture, that's how incredible it is, and whether it's a drawing or the real thing, it's iconic either way.
