Superstar on the move? Ovechkin shares his favourite team asides from Washington
Alexander Ovechkin reveals his hockey team besides the Washington Capitals in a recent interview.
During the interview he mentioned two different teams, and one was the Tampa Bay Lightning even though he's showed dominance of them his entire career, but he like their style of hockey as it's an �up-tempo' offensive style.
The team also boasts two of the most prolific Russian players in the league who are superstar Nikita Kucherov and goaltender Andre Vasilevskiy.
«I like Tampa � they play combination hockey,» Ovechkin said per a transcription by sports.ru and a translation by Google Translate. «Everyone plays a pass, it's nice to watch.»
The other team he mentioned is more of surprise as the Capitals only face this team twice a year, but the Edmonton Oilers.
«I like Edmonton,» Ovechkin said. «But again � it all depends on the players.»
Alex Ovechkin will be watched closely this season as he's on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all time goal scoring record.
However, if Ovechkin wants to break this record he will have to put some incredible effort and carry the Capitals on his back.
