Alex Ovechkin reveals which current NHL player’s jersey he would buy if forced to choose one

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has been doing the Russian media rounds since returning to his home country for the offseason. Ovi stopped by the studio of Russian soccer-based YouTube channel, It’s Football, Bro! for an over hour long conversation about a wide variety of topics this past Thursday.

Before having to name which five players he would pick to join him on a “symbolic all-time team”, Ovi was asked to pick which current NHL player’s jersey he would buy if forced to choose just one.

The Great Eight, who himself had the top-selling jersey in the NHL for the second consecutive season, wasted little time before giving his answer.

Connor McDavid equals Alex Ovechkin’s 21st-century record of 69 total goals in a season including playoffs

Connor McDavid did something extremely nice on Saturday night when his Edmonton Oilers took down the Vegas Golden Knights 5-1 in Game Two of the two teams’ second-round series. McDavid potted two goals in the win, giving him 69 total goals this season including both regular season and postseason markers.

McDavid won this past season’s Rocket Richard Trophy for the top NHL goal scorer with 64 goals and has added five since the playoffs started.

That total equals Alex Ovechkin‘s 21st-century record that The Great Eight set back in 2007-08 when he scored 65 goals during the regular season and added four more in the playoffs in seven games.

Evgeny Kuznetsov reveals who he thinks are the three best players in the NHL

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov is one of the most offensively-gifted players in the entire National Hockey League. The 30-year-old Russian is a two-time all-star in the league and has recorded four 70-plus point seasons in his career.

So, it’s safe to say he knows a good hockey player when he sees one.

Kuzy was asked by former Caps forward Andrei Nikolishin, during a “Slippery Ice” interview, to name who he believes are the three best players currently plying their trade in the NHL.

Monday’s Capitals-Oilers game started late at 8 pm and was aired on national TV in Canada. That fact didn’t seem to be lost on the teams’ captains, Alex Ovechkin and Connor McDavid, who seemingly tried to outdo each other at every step.

A wildly entertaining five-goal second period saw both Ovechkin and McDavid score in the same game for the third time in their careers. It previously happened in November 5, 2018 and October 24, 2019 Caps-Oilers’ games.

Capitals players gave Connor McMichael the nickname Oilers’ fans gave Connor McDavid: ‘McJesus’

Sometimes I think Washington Capitals players are aware of inside jokes on Caps Twitter. Why? Because it sure seems like they were inspired by one that was started by fans after Connor McMichael was drafted by the team.

Let me explain. Sunday, during Capitals Breakdown Day, Alex Ovechkin spoke about some of the team’s prospects that he was impressed with.

“We can see how young guys step up this year through all the injuries,” Ovechkin said. “It’s good for us, McJesus (Connor McMichael), Ax (Axel Jonsson-Fjallby), they’re growing up and they will help us for next year for sure.”
