Ovechkin clearly has some good years remaining, but he was asked a question about retirement. "I'm healthy, thanks God, and I still love this game," Ovechkin said. "As soon as I'm not going to love this game, I'm not going to cheat on it because I respect it a lot and I don't want to put my name on the caliber players who just play out there and take somebody's spots. I don't want to do that." The 34-year-old had 48 goals in 68 games this season.
