Athletic disassembled He played in the Washington Capitals’ offense and criticized forward Alexander Ovechkin for playing without the puck.
“Throughout his career, Ovechkin has always been pretty cavalier about playing without the puck, but he reached new lows last season. He cheats to attack, that’s not new. What’s new is that he plays less with the puck now. He’s become a below-average forward when it comes to getting the puck into the zone.” “He’s no longer the type of player who would be the best on a playoff-caliber team.”
Ovechkin, who played in 74 regular season games in the National Hockey League (NHL) last season, scored 42 goals and 33 assists. However, this did not help the Capitals reach the tournament’s play-offs.
The Russian player currently has 822 goals scored in his NHL career. The difference with Wayne Gretzky is 72 goals. The Canadian has 894 goals and remains first among snipers in NHL history.
