  1. Whatever Ovie decides to do he has earned it. If he retires it’s going to be hard not seeing 8 out there on the ice. Either way, he is forever a Cap and the city will forever be grateful.

  2. Это единственный Вашингтон,который любят и уважают во всем мире!!!😊

  3. Thats the "Lemme get outta here asap so I can enjoy the off-season before I come back to play one last year" walk off the ice.

  4. Retirement or KHL bound 100% He wants to raise his kids in Russia. Also he will be a rockstar there

  5. Hopefully he'll come back. Ovi vs Sid is the best! If he decides to step back tho it's understandable and I thank him for the memories. Love from Pittsburgh. GR8.

  6. Ovi's 100% coming back. Organization isn't letting the greatest goal scorer in history retire without a proper farewell tour.

  7. What a pity, a putin team captain could not return… it’s an absolute shame how NHL treats to russians players who supports putin

  8. Ovi always said he would retire on top of his game. This summer if he feels he can still play as a top 6 forward he would prolong his stay in the NHL, otherwise we will be missing him.

  9. Not sure I’m ready for an NHL without 8 and 87. If you’re of a certain vintage, you know what I mean. Gonna be a couple of sad seasons in the next couple years.

  10. The dude refused to shake hands in Pittsburg against the rival player. He’ll be back. He didn’t want a premature send off.

  11. I remember 2016 like it was recently. He got to 50 with hat trick in last game of the season vs st. Louis. Ten years ago! Wild.

  12. Kopitars last season, now we lose Ove too? Can't imagine the game without our Stars.. The great ones are leaving us one after another

  13. He’s 100% doing 1 more year. He’s gotta go around the league saying goodbye to every team, player, and fan
