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.

Eck. You are in Team Putin in Ukraine???
How fast elite athletes can recover from stuff is honestly crazy. I had a grade 2 MCL sprain younger than Ovie, and that was a matter of a couple months to get back to recreational sports.
When I did my MCL i was out 6 weeks and I play rugby was so rough. Getting back to putting weight on it was brutal the fact he's gone back out to skate suggests it's not that bad 🤞
Hope he doesn’t break the record
What kind of doctor that is with the post? In this age knee injury may as well end his career because as it may start popping out frequently. I have the same issue with my knee. I hope it's not that bad for Ovi but how can a doctor even try to predict something like that only based on the video footage.
I'm seeing the Caps play in about 5½ weeks. It will be my only chance to see him play.
I don’t want a Russian owning the scoring record, so this is good news for me.
Do you just give drai the richard now?
Couldn’t happen to a better Putin supporter, f him ..
@ Eck
Another possibility is a fibular fracture… the contact was below the knee… and shin pad w force directly against the mid lower leg behind his shin pad is hitting bone.
People should stop jinxing ovi, insulting Gretzky and the legends of the past because that’s all I see in comments is hate…. It’s a shame.
Even if Ovechkin breaks the goal record, Gretzky is still the great one and the greatest to EVER play the game of hockey PERIOD!
I'd rate that flop a 9, out of a possible 10. We'll see.
With any luck he’s done
what if whenever someone gets close to that record, they get hurt and never play again… the 99 curse
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice ..stay out
This is an interesting situation where the ability of Ovechkin to break Gretzky's record and the goal of the Washington Capitals to win the Cup are somewhat at odds. Ovechkin is old. The Capitals need him to be in top form to be a Cup contender. This would indicate they should manage his playing time carefully, give him regular breaks and one they lock in a playoff spot give him the rest of the days off. Toronto let Matthews play meaningless games so he could score 70 goals. Would resting Matthews for several games mean he was able to play all the playoff games? We can't know for sure but playing those games that had or bearing in the playoff rankings sure didn't help the Leafs as a team.
Hopefully he’ll be back sooner rather than later but time catches up with all of us
oh great, another reason for the NHL to hate Utah. Fk it… lets go yeti!
Womp womp
Whiny, annoying Canadian bitch voice This is absolutely terrible
Get the pitch forks we are going to Salt Lake City
OV better watch out or Jake Paul will challenge him to a fight!
Shooting percentage off the charts? come on now you do realize he took 14 shots one game.?? I mean no disrespect to him because he’s phenomenal
This guy only has 24 goals in 7 years in the league… guy sucks
MCL +/- ACL/meniscus. Could be a 1-3 weeks OR 3 months+ 🙁
Confirmed: Jack McBain dosen't like hockey.
Poor little vatnik, get well someday
Gretzky has more assists than anyone else has total points.
Losing the goal scoring record means little anyway.
His knee went a little inward with the impact, MCL is my bet. With luck it’s just a sprain. Can’t really see ACL with that collision, but the MRI will tell the tale.
I heard after that game, the famous Russian, Dr. Ivana Kuturkokov gave the diagnosis “Russian machine don’t break”
Same energy of the crash that killed Dale Earnhardt. Like, oh, that didn't seem like it was too bad. Wait he's dead? WHAT?
weather it was accidental or mere coincidence, something definitely doesn’t like ovechkin
40 yrs old. Gonna get injured. Been healthy most of his career. Don’t worry he’ll be back…hungrier than ever!
The Hockey god is Canadian. And he wants Wayne to stay at the top. And so do I. I dont like Ovi, never did…
maybe he could go back to Russia and rehab with the Russian army
