"I looked at the schedule, and there is one (Leafs game) I'm really circling here. It's when the Capitals come into town. I want to find a way to get to that. I want to see Ovechkin one more time. I want to come out there and see him."
"Scherzer is suffering from right forearm tendinitis, although he has been cleared to start against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. He had started the season in near prime form, throwing six innings of four-hit, one-run baseball in a 5-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on March 31."
"Scherzer and fellow Nats legend Ryan Zimmerman notably got decked out in Caps gear to help pump up the Capital One Arena crowd before Game 4 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final."
"During the Nationals' run to the 2019 World Series, Ovechkin returned the favor by throwing out the first pitch before Game 4 of the NLDS."
Max Scherzer attended a Capitals game to watch Alex Ovechkin, indicating his desire to see him play again. Scherzer, currently dealing with right forearm tendinitis, was able to attend the game after the Blue Jays' day game. He and Ovechkin share a strong bond, having celebrated championships together in 2018 and 2019. Scherzer previously wore Capitals gear to support Ovechkin during the Stanley Cup Final, and Ovechkin threw the first pitch at a Nationals playoff game in 2019. Scherzer recently won a title with the Texas Rangers in 2023.
