What would you give Alex Ovechkin for Christmas Washington Capitals fans?
Would it be some Washington Capitals merch? New hockey equipment? Maybe something completely unrelated. Whatever it is, Alex Ovechkin and his family deserve a great Christmas. So what would that look like for the great eight?
The last time we heard Ovechkin in the news, he was on his way to D.C. from Russia on a plane. He has yet to hit the rink at MedStar Capitals Iceplex, at least that we know of. It is unknown whether his wife Nastasia or his sons Sergei or Ilya came on the flight with him.
That doesn’t mean he won’t get gifts from them and in this piece we are going to predict what kind of gifts Alex Ovechkin will get for Christmas. We’ll start with Ovechkin’s wife who will give him a potion to make sure he doesn’t age as the 2021 season progresses.

This potion is the secret ingredient that keep the Russian Machine chugging along. It’s also completely legal. Ovechkin is coming off a 48 goal season and he is on a mission to break Wayne Gretzky’s goal record. It will be a season like no other coming up with 56 games including several back to backs and multiple occasions where they’ll see the same opponent consecutively.
Before we get to Sergei, because everyone wants to know what his son is going to get him, let’s see what Ovechkin’s parents will get him first. His dad Mikhail will get Ovechkin a copy of NHL 21 featuring Ovi himself on the cover. Mikhail is secretly a gamer and now Ovechkin and him can go head to head online. Maybe we’ll get a rematch with Gretzky himself.
Ovechkin’s mom Tatyana is a winner in her own way as she was an Olympic basketball player for Team Russia. What she will get her son is an exclusive painting featuring Ovechkin hoisting the Stanley Cup from 2018. She hopes this gift will provide him inspiration as he chases for a second.
Wayne Gretzky will also send the great eight a gift. He sends him one of his game used hockey sticks for luck as Alex chases that big record. And finally we’ve got Sergei, who just is beginning to learn how to skate. As he continues his training he hopes his dad can be his teacher so he gets Ovechkin a pair of skates.
All these gifts will make Ovechkin ready for a big season ahead. Merry Christmas Caps fans!
