For a brief moment, Alex Ovechkin had something in common with many sports fans.

The Washington Capitals star said he was doing several relatable activities while in the dressing room for repairs after taking a big hit from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri late in the first period of Game 5 on Friday night.

"I was watching TV," Ovechkin said postgame, via Sportsnet. "Just (having) a Coke and watch(ing) the match."

Kadri was handed a two-minute tripping minor for the hip check that forced Ovechkin to take the brief trip to the locker room, and while the Capitals captain was in there, T.J. Oshie opened the scoring on the ensuing power play.

Ovechkin often appears superhuman, but sometimes he shows he's just like us.
