Athletistic / Hockey. Former Washington Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau shared his thoughts on forward Alexander Ovechkin’s performance in the opening games of the NHL playoffs with the New York Rangers. The opponent won the first two matches and Ovechkin set his own anti-record, making only one shot on target in two matches.

“Physically, he can’t do what his mind wants anymore. He has a very high hockey IQ, but he sits still and doesn’t move. The same thing happened at the beginning of the season when I started to cover their matches on television.

Then, I wanted to talk to him because he lets the moment come to him rather than going to create it himself. Now he’s waiting for the puck. But the Rangers players are too fast if you stand and wait for the puck,” Boudreau said as quoted by The Athletic.
