Concerns rise in Washington after photo leaks of Alex Ovechkin in terrible shape
Alex Ovechkin recently shared his dislike for summer training, and now a photo has emerged that raises concerns about his health.
The Washington Capitals made a playoff push in 2024, but after being swept in the first round, it's clear that their window for a second Stanley Cup is closing. Despite this, with Ovechkin chasing Wayne Gretzky's record for most goals in NHL history, the team always has a chance.
