Alexander Ovechkin Admits He Used �Magic Pills' During Playoffs..
Alexander Ovechkin is approaching 37 years old and has still continued to keep his high intensity play up even though he's aging, he does not shy away from throwing a big body check at any given time.
With throwing big body checks like these and being so heavy on the forecheck, there becomes plenty of wear and tear with it. Ovechkin suffered a shoulder injury right before the playoffs hit, and it kept him out for a few games.
Little do we know, Ovechkin was never fully recovered from that shoulder injury before entering round one of the playoffs against the Florida Panthers, Ovechkin spoke on it today in a interview confirming it and how he coped with the shoulder injury.
Ovechkin also spoke on missing his family during the season..
