Ovechkin's sons outtakes from NHL goals record video are super cute

Alex Ovechkin isn't the only one who put in hours of hard work and preparation on the way to NHL career goal 895.

The Washington Capitals shared the cutest outtakes of Ovechkin's sons, Sergei and Ilya, as they took multiple shots on goal at perfecting their dad's congratulations video.

The video starts with Ovechkin's wife, Nastya, bringing the boys to the couch and preparing them for what they are about to say. Sergei nails it, but is straight-faced.

Nastya requests a smile from Sergei during the line to hilarious results.

The cutest part of the video is perhaps when the cameraman asks for one more take and Sergei acts as if he is being sent to the penalty box, burying his face in his hands.

Ilya forgets to say his line on the next attempt and the take after is interrupted by the family dog, Blake.

Needless to say after Ovechkin's big tribute video the boys got it eventually, but this is one of those times where the journey was so much more fun than the end.
