What happened to Ovechkin?

30 апреля 2024, 14:08
The Great Eight, watched all over the world (including their pursuit of Gretzky's record), limply spent the playoffs and set a bunch of anti-records along the way.

«Ovechkin is a disaster!» This is roughly what many media outlets wrote yesterday and today — immediately after the Washington Capitals' elimination from the playoffs — from the legendary Stanley Cup. In principle, this departure, of course, was predicted. Panarin and Co. — the New York Rangers — are indeed not just stronger, but radically stronger than Ovi's team. So the outcome was largely predetermined.

But, firstly, everyone in this life wants a fairy tale. Drama preceded wow! The Capitals were hanging out all the time on the verge of becoming one of the eight lucky ones from the division, it was actually Ovechkin himself who dragged them into the playoffs, and the decisive puck flew in in an unknown way from his «tummy» — yes, the same one that was absurdly made fun of by someone who had not earned such a title Artem Dzyuba, a walker of fame after other people's wives.

And secondly, few people imagined that the series would turn into a real nightmare for Ovi and Co.
