WATCH: Blizzard doesn't scare Ovechkin

Alex Ovechkin isn't afraid of a little snow.

The Washington Capitals captain was stopped Friday at a gas station by WUSA 9's Ellison Barber to give his comments on the East Coast blizzard expected to dump about three feet of snow on the Washington, D.C. area.

"We're from Russia, so we always have that kind of stuff," Ovi said of the storm.

He also revealed plans to help his neighbours with snow removal.
