Alex Ovechkin makes surprising remarks about his dedication to the Capitals
Alex Ovechkin has been a standout player in the NHL for over twenty years. As he gets older it seems like his dedication to the Capitals may be wavering.
Since 2004 the Washington Capitals have been closely linked with their captain, Alexander Ovechkin, who has brought them success and a Stanley Cup. However the recent focus has shifted to Ovechkin's pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's goal scoring record, potentially making history in a season or two.
While it would be incredible for the team to have the all time leading goal scorer in NHL history, there are concerns about Ovechkin's commitment to leading his team to victory. This is further underscored by some remarks he made recently;
"I hate prep. I hate it. I just don't like training. Before the season, that's the hardest part. Can you imagine, after vacation, you arrive, you're tan, everything's fine, happy, and your coach calls you and says, 'Well Sasha, tomorrow we start training.' And it starts, you go to training, then rest, then another training. I hate it, I can't stand it."
Alex Ovechkins recent comments have raised concerns, among fans about his future in the NHL. Even though his performance on the ice may not be impacted by this, it could reflect poorly on the organization if he faces challenges in 2024 following statements like these.
