Gretzky is obviously still the GOAT until Ovechkin hits 893.

The man loves to eat good and drink good.

He’s going to crush some steak, and he’s going to hammer some beers.

I dont hide it, Ovechkin said per a sports.ru transcription and a translation by Google Translate.

I like the taste of beer.

I like light beer, sometimes I can drink Guinness.

He continued, I cant imagine a [player] who says he doesnt drink, he quit.

In Washington, we have a refrigerator with beer in the coaching room.

It’s not a shake and an ice bath after games to recover.

Don’t ever tell me that hockey players aren’t the biggest freak athletes in sports ever again.
