According to Strome, the two are big on exchanging memes, he told TSN's Mark Masters, as it's almost exclusively their way of communicating this entire summer.
"He's a big meme guy, so he's sending me memes a lot. He's a big emoji guy... sending memes here back and forth," Strome told Masters. "He has a pretty good sense of humor, so it's always fun to hear from him."
Ovechkin of course, has to enjoy his time off and take the pressure off his shoulders, as he is only 42 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal record.
Strome is excited to help Ovi in the "Gr8 chase":
"Everyone knows what's coming, and we're excited to be a part of it," Strome said of Ovechkin, who turns 39 in September.
While Strome and Ovi exchange memes, once October rolls around they will be nothing but business.
But the exchanging of memes keeps the off-season light-hearted and fun.
I wonder if Ovi has seen all of "The Boys" new meme templates?
Anyways, we look forward to the Strome-Ovechkin connection in 2024.
