Ovechkin makes a statement of fact, if he wasn't enjoying playing the game of hockey, he would've retired already, even if he was still trying to beat Wayne Gretzky's record.
Ovechkin recently revealed in an interview once he retired from the NHL he'd retire home and return to Russia. Leaving North America for good.
All the while, Ovechkin is just 41 goals shy of defeating Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record in the NHL.
Treasure the time with Ovi now, as it is a dwindling commodity for us hockey fans.
