This is how you know you've made it. Maybe not for Semyon Varlamov so much, but Alex Ovechkin is finally a big enough celebrity to be featured in his own "This is Sportscenter" commercial. Check it out.

↵At first I was a little disappointed because it resembles the Albert Pujols "Machine" commerical so closely. But then I realized that if I'm seriously critiquing Sportscenter commercials I need to take a long hard look in the mirror and change a few things about my life.
↵Ovechkin himself is pretty good. His fake laughter is the best part of the commercial, followed by being pulled up with the rope by Varly. Overall, a pretty good spot.
