The Washington Capitals season is unfortunately over, but there have been so many memorable moments for the Washington Capitals over the last few seasons. One feel-good story that has recently surfaced online involves Alex Ovechkin's wife, Nastya Ovechkina.
It's no secret that Nastya Ovechkina and captain Alex Ovechkin are one of the most beloved hockey couples in the NHL.
Together, they make quite the power couple - and it turns out her cooking might just have a little magic in it.
Nastya Ovechkina's cooking helped the Capitals win
According to RMNB, Ovechkina spoke with Sport-Express's Igor Rabiner in March about when her husband, Caps captain Alex Ovechkin, asked her to prepare borscht for the entire team. The following game's result saw the Capitals have their highest-scoring single game of that season.
«Yes, sometimes Sasha asks to make borscht for the team,» Ovechkina told Rabiner, as translated via Google Translate. «There was a case when a couple of years ago I cooked huge pots of borscht - and the team, having eaten it, won, I think, 8-1. In any case, the score was incredible. They laughed that it was my 'fault.' Since then, such requests sometimes happen.»
«We all know that borscht generally takes a long time to cook,» Ovechkina said of making the soup for the whole team. «It's just that the volumes are bigger, which means it takes longer.»
RMNB goes on to suggest that this even was back in 2021, when the Washington Capitals hosed the Boston Bruins.
How hilarious is that?
Despite the magic powers behind her cooking, Nastya Ovechkina goes onto to highlight just how much the Washington Capitals means to her husband.
«I really like the atmosphere in the team,» Ovechkina said. «Many people talk about it because they see the guys' relationships. Sasha has often talked about how this unity is felt, how they feel like a single whole. I think that only under such conditions can you win something serious in this team sport.»
