Little kid asks Ovechkin if he's friends with Crosby, and his answer is amazing!

If you were an intrepid reporter you might not be inclined to ask this question, even though you might be intrigued by the answer, but kids can get away with a lot more than adults can.

The answer was both amazing and surprising, although whether it's genuine or not may never be known as Ovechkin may have only been giving the kid a more politically correct answer than he would have normally without the cameras rolling.

Here's the video:
