Alex Ovechkin appeared on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show, discussing his record-breaking 896th goal, his commitment to the Capitals, and his potential future in the NHL. Ovechkin indicated he may consider playing beyond his current contract, expressing his love for the team and joking about extending his tenure. While he has previously mentioned a desire to retire in Russia, his recent comments suggest he might be open to staying in the NHL longer. His outstanding physical condition at 20 years of play adds to the speculation regarding his future.
"Well, I have one more year, and we'll see what's going to happen. I love the team. As long as I can, I'll try to stick around with my great body."
"So, Ted said it's gonna be extension, maybe? I can sign right now for 13 more years."
