This is absolutely terrible



We need to talk about the injury to Alexander Ovechkin which has seemingly sidelined his amazing start to the NHL year… we’ll look at Ovi’s chase for Gretzky, his injury, and recap the Washington Capitals vs Utah.

  1. I would guess by the angle of force there was a slight tear to the patella tendon or ACL. 4-6 weeks sounds about right

  2. Leading the league in scoring at 39. And on track to break gretzkys "video game number" scoring record from an era where goals were MUCH easier to come by. This was THE story in the NHL. If he misses 20 games because of this and still breaks the record he is the 🐐.

  3. McBain's knee-on-knee hit broke Ovie's leg. Ovie will be out 4-6 weeks … if lucky. McBain in for a world of hurt when they play the Caps next. He better take a sick day.

  4. Great to see. Ovechkin is pals with Putin and has pics of him on social media. And Putin has murdered Russian Journalists, Russian Politicians, Russian Citizens and has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the war he started. Let us hope that Old Ovie doesn’t break Gretz’s record and is out of the lineup….forever?

  5. For anyone wondering; he has a broken fibula in his left leg. The caps have said he will be out for 4 to 6 weeks at the time of me writing this.

  6. I am a flyers fan……but I am also a HOCKEY fan. Ovechkin is an incredible scorer……been watching 50 plus years……this is the absolute worst thing that could have happened. Talk about hurting the sport………..When he returns he deservers a 5 minute standing ovation…the nhl should give out free
    t shirts with the number 8 on them to every fan at every game the night he returns.
    EVERYONE who loves hockey must stand with the GREAT 8. Dude is the MAN.Next time he comes
    to town and plays my flyers I hope he scores 3. If you don't love alex…….you should.

  7. If Ovechkin wants to return to action right away, he should fly to Germany to get a second opinion

  8. They keep him at the blue line, no back check only to break Gretzky’s record… if it was not for the record, this guy will be out of the game. He is barely able to follow the game…..
