MAJOR: Truth Behind Alex Ovechkin's Declining Play Revealed by Former GM
Alex Ovechkin cemented his reputation as one of the best goal-scorers in NHL history. Everyone follows his race to Wayne Gretzky's record closely.
For more than fifteen years, he's been dominating the league. But he's not getting any younger, and his pace is declining.
Ovechkin's Slow Start: Should We Worry?
The Capitals have played four games since the season started, and Alex Ovechkin hasn't scored yet.
He was also held shotless during two straight games for the first time in his career.
This is quite concerning. Ovi is only 72 goals away from Gretzky's record. At 38, is it still realistic to believe he can reach that legendary mark?
A former general manager shared his thoughts on Ovechkin's slump.

Craig Button, analyst for TSN and former general manager, talked about Ovechkin after the Capitals' game against the Montreal Canadiens.
«There were a couple of positive signs in this game versus Montreal, but overall this year, what I've seen from Alexander Ovechkin � he just, to me, hasn't had the same level of physical or mental engagement in the game,»
«He doesn't look like the player who's driving play, who wants the puck. When you watch him at his best, he's skating, he's driving plays, using his body to deliver body checks, he's in that spot, ready with his stick. I haven't seen that from him this year.» - Craig Button

If Ovechkin's motivation drops, it could mean the end is near for the Great Eight.
This would be heartbreaking to watch. Hockey fans all around the world hope to see him break the record, even Gretzky himself!
Let's hope he can find his rhythm in the coming games!
