Ovi’s Record Chase: Locker Room Pressure?

Lars Eller just gave us a real look inside the Caps’ locker room during Ovi’s epic run to 895 goals. Turns out, chasing Gretzky’s record wasn’t just tough on defenses—it nearly threw the whole team off track! Eller says the hype and NHL coverage added major pressure, but thankfully, The Great Eight broke the record before the season’s end, letting the boys refocus for playoffs. Plus, Ovi’s thank-you gift? Custom Hublot watches for everyone. Class act! #Sports #IceHockey #Ovechkin
