Alex Ovechkin on the one NHL rule he would change if he could
NHL superstar Alexander Ovechkin has gone on record to talk about the one rule change he would make in the NHL if he had the ability to do so
With four teams still remaining in the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, league star Alexander Ovechkin is spending the summer at home in Russia after his Washngton Capitals were eliminated by the New York Rangers in the first round. The Great 8's mind is still on hockey, though and something he'd like to see changed as soon as possible.
Ovechkin was a guest on the Russian podcast "This is Hockey, Brother!" this week and was asked what rule in the NHL he would change if he had the power to do it, and why? Ovechkin was quick to respond.
Ovechkin was asked whether he believes video replay can be helpful in certain situations.
Ovechkin's perspective on replays is not anything new. Several players and many fans have said the same thing. The main argument against video replay seems to be the time it takes for the review and how it messes with the flow of the game. That said, I don't expect it to go away any time soon.
