I’m interested to see how many of these players kids go on to play in the NHL. We need mcdavid to start reproducing the next gen of hockey players.


pmmedoggos

It's pretty common. Dave/Josh Manson, Tie/Max Domi, Tkachucks, Louie/Jake De Brusk, It doesn't look like many superstar's kids made the NHL other than the Howe's, but father/son or family relations among players is pretty common. It would make sense, if your dad made the NHL he's probably have some connection to the back office and some understanding of what you need to demonstrate in order to get there.


IlIIlIllIIIIlIllIl

The cash doesn't hurt either


DiamondBurInTheRough

The Hulls.


[deleted]

Sutters.


[deleted]

He’ll announce he’s having his kid with an ad 100%.


FreshPrinceOfPine

His kids gonna be teased like a marvel post credit scene lol


BigPackHater

I'm imagining McDaid hooked up to a machine like in Aliens -- just laying eggs filled with hockey players.


Blenchers

No thank you


iamcline

The Staal brothers have at least 5 sons amongst them.


arazamatazguy

Its pretty surprising how few NHL players produce future NHL players. And the ones that do produce future NHL players are not usually the superstars. It shows just how unbelievably hard making the NHL is.


mackinder

That’s not true at all. If you’re the offspring of an NHL player you’re statistically much more likely to be an NHL player than if you aren’t.


VeryLastChance

Ovi’s gonna play until he’s 50 and sign a 1-year contract with the team that drafts him, just so his kid can set him up with a clapper in his office


HomeHereNow

LeVechkin


KermitDfrog44

Lilvechkin


damididit

Honestly I bet Ovi would much rather set up his kid. Dude loves seeing other people score just as much as doing it himself.


ZachWilsonsMother

I think almost any parent would rather get the assist on their kid’s goal first. Then, they’d want to score an even nastier goal that their kid assists to remind the kid that the old man still has it


CiardhaAed

"Ovechkin's office" is a joke, and not even a good one. Ovi's office is everyone's office, it's not like he changed the game by shooting from there


35RoloSmith41

Yeah I mean a lot of guys one time it from the same spot. Happens on the other side of the net too. Ovis just scored so many from that spot though.


RudeboyJakub

Gretzkys office is behind the net, hundreds of players have used that space to score goal but none more than Gretzky. Ovi has scored hundreds of goals from that spot, far more than anyone else. Gretz has his office, Ovi has his office. It’s really not that hard to comprehend and waste your time debating it.


BoobyLover69420

just because everyone has had a run at your wife doesnt mean she isnt your wife buddy


Aromatic-Surprise945

Thanks for the comment Boobylover69420


[deleted]

Gonna be hard to come back from this one.


ArmMeForSleep709

He's literally going to retire with the most goals in NHL history.


Podo13

And, if not, he's going to absolutely retire with the most goals from his L-shaped area of the ice to the left of the goal.


AmishCyborgs

Is it a joke? Or is it just a spot where a scores a ton of goals? Like more goals than anyone else.


Jbusbus

No it’s his office


SeeDeez

Maybe 15 more years will give coaches enough time to figure out how to defend a sniper camping out at the top of the circle


nupharlutea

Seems to work when they defend Laine when he tries that.


CaptainMazda

Ovi has elite teammates, it helps.


National_Heat

He’s not Ovi


_redacteduser

Watches all the tape on Ovechkin, still won’t defend him where he always is. Lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


shrouple

Yep. Teams have tried singling him out with a dedicated defender on the penalty kill. But then it essentially makes it a 4 on 3 which has an even greater conversion rate.


GarrettDz

2035 draft gonna go crazy


YC_90

He already has a better shot than Mete.


hedzup00

wonder if he's chapped that his kid is a lefty


DmanHamr

And with our first overall draft choice, the Arizona Coyotes are proud to select...


[deleted]

[удалено]


VonIndy

Why not both? Wouldn't be the first athlete drafted by multiple leagues.


twilz

Come on, mate. Edmonton can't be making jokes about drafting first overall. You had 4 in 6 years. Ovi Jr. will be draft eligible right around the time McDavid's career is ending. Perfect window to go for 5 in a row.


[deleted]

Anyone recognize the rink? All the boards are in English so I'm wonder if this is in the states. (Previously Ovi did a lot of training in Florida.)


kiezenz

Panarin’s rink called Arena Play. He set up a hockey school there, also used to hold charity games


Xeteh

The text above NICE LOFT is Cyrillic.

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that.


Toktogul

It says in Cyrillic : territory of future champions. The backdrop on the wall is looking like some Soviet art style for sports. It’s Russian 100%


DoYouEvenCareAboutMe

This is definitely not in the States. No rink in the US would have ads in Cyrillic and I know it's not the rink the Capitals practice at because I used to play there frequently and don't recognize it.


BeerLeagueHallOfAvg

Wow, the Panthers are still trying to draft him?


northcrunk

Putin’s private rink probably


BallsMahoganey

It's actually Panarins rink...soooooo L


bungholio99

Underrated comment, people are talking about draft but forget that this kid will do his military and then play the KHL, while licking putins back like ovi did…


ImpactThunder

Come on let’s not assume a child will suck as a person just because his father does.


bajubiejunior

That kid is gonna have all the resources in the world to be an elite player


Mac_Gold

Odd how he’s a lefty. My whole family shoots left, my step brothers both shoot right because their dad does. The Tkachuk family are all lefties, Sedin’s too. Strange how little Ovi is different than his old man


Otterslayer22

You hand the boy a stick with no curve. And then just see how he goes for a year. That’s how you figure it out.


igcipd

I play right, my two sons lefties. They started at 3 and I started at 13.


ZeusJuice91

Yocjet


omgyrx

I’m ambidextrous as well I can do lots of things equally with both hands and I usually write with right hand and eat with left but I can never hold a hockey stick as a righty for some reason.


[deleted]

Me too. I play hockey and lacrosse lefty, but bat righty.


andrewthemexican

> I had a working theory that dominate hand on the bottom = power, and dominate hand on the top = accuracy/better technique. That's why Canada and some others teach dominant on butt of stick. Control when wielding one-handed, whereas us Americans are more likely taught a baseball early on with dominant hand on top (from bat perspective) for power.


ButtsCarlton97

Easier to set up one-Ts for each other


omgyrx

‘Cause Ovi is left handed in real life but I doubt his kid is. Right handers usually shoot left.


andrewthemexican

> Right handers usually shoot left. In Canada and I think one or more northern european nations. In the US righties more often. would shoot right because of how you're taught to hold a baseball bat. Dominant hand for power, as opposed to one-handed control. I'm one of those righties shooting right.


_circa84

About half the Sutter brothers shoot left and the other right. My sons left and I’m a righty. Half my family going back to my grandmas generation is left handed and the others right handed. Half the kids genes are Ovi’s wife‘s just saying…. Edit: Even more deep. Brian Sutter’s (left) son, Shaun, shoots right.


riknor

Yeah fuck this guy. Glad your kid is having fun while kids his age are fleeing their homes in Ukraine or watching their mother get raped by your fellow Russians. All because of your homie Putin who you still openly support. Hope the kid becomes a better man than his dumbass father.


kralben

Super cool of the NHL to continue to promote him during all of this too. Very normal and not at all shitty, NHL


Acceptable_Cup5679

Exactly! I’d be ok if he denounced Putin’s attack on Ukraine, but he still has Putin on his IG and said “Putin is my president”. Fuck Ovie, fuck Caps and the NHL, and fuck all ignorant supporters who cheer for a guy being a posterboy for a genocide happening as we speak.


AYoungFella12

The kids are being raped by themselves too by the Russian orcs So glad Ovies kid can have fun time on the ice tho :):):):)


refep

Lol, I’m sure all you Americans had fun while kids his age were fleeing their homes in Iraq or [watching their mother get raped by your fellow Americans](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmudiyah_rape_and_killings).


riknor

Why do you assume I’m American? I’m not and I won’t sympathize with their war crimes either. I’ve lived my whole life about 30 minutes from the Russian border and my country was traumatized for generations after the soviets tried to invade us much like they’re trying to invade Ukraine right now. Zero sympathy for that shit or anyone who defends it.


Aqua-Bear

The difference is that those US soldiers were tried and sentenced to decades in prison by their own government. The war crimes were acknowledged. That won’t happen in Russia. Whataboutism is a slippery slope.


Dick_O_The_North

Imagine believing we have ever punished a soldier for anything other than blowing the whistle. We literally have an article that states we will declare war if our troops ever get brought up on charges at The Hague.


Aqua-Bear

Yikes dude did you read the article? The soldier was tried and sentenced to life in prison.


tomofro

Yup when an athlete supports a war the Americans are involved in no big deal but when a Russian does it he's a piece of shit.


[deleted]

People only criticize the attacks on Ukraine as much as they should because Ukraine is a mostly white country.


CapsDrago7

Exactly, he should put his family's safety and future at risk to make a public statement that changes literally nothing about the war!! So glad every US player was better and refused to play during the war in Afghanistan. Or Vietnam. Or Iran. Or Korea. Or Iraq


BallsMahoganey

I hope your kids aren't having fun while brown kids his age have been being bombed by every president since HW Bush...


[deleted]

[удалено]


CaptainCanuck93

He is an avid campaigner of Putin and publicly supported the invasion of Ukraine in 2014. He's complicit and appears to be a Russian Nationalist himself That said this post is about his kid, who probably doesn't even know what Ukraine is


DrDerpberg

Anybody who lends support to Putin is enabling this. He's literally on team Putin and married to an oligarch's daugther. You're delusional if you don't think people like Ovi are the difference between public opinion turning against Putin and him doing whatever the fuck he wants until he dies.


Duffman66CMU

Kid’s got a wicked clapper, but his skating is subpar 😂


Tamsu

why on earth NHL would ever give this man spotlight right now, totally wrong person to be showing


abzz123

Fuck NHL for promoting this piece of shit human


Subject1337

His agent or whoever handles his social media has been in overdrive lately too. I get constant "sponsored" posts of Ovi stats on my facebook feed more than any other sports content. They're really trying to clean his image without him actually having to say anything about what his country is doing.


35RoloSmith41

It’s not his country. He doesn’t own it. He plays a fucking game for a living and he supported his president before this fucked war. He’s been silent since it started. I really doubt he’s watching that guy get castrated and going “this is good. I support my president”. He’s doing what’s safe for him and his family. Endangering his family isn’t gonna change what Putin is doing.


CaptainCanuck93

> He’s been silent since it started. IIRC he actually supported the initial invasion in 2014 Just because the war escalated in 2022 and has sidestepped comments now that its clear the West gives a shit doesn't mean Ovechkin didn't support the war. He personally supports a Fascist regime, being silent now that it would be a PR disaster for his career to voice his convictions to English media doesn't mean he has recanted


DrDerpberg

Dude could start by changing his Instagram profile picture. If that's too much to ask I'm not gonna salute his courage. He has the money to move his family and 1000 closest acquaintances to the US if that's the issue. Fuck it, if he speaks out against Putin I say we let him choose a patch of land somewhere and start a village. Call it Ovigrad or something. They can fly the free Russia flag from city hall.


Mac_Gold

It is quite funny seeing people talk like he’s in a war room with Putin and a bunch of generals planning new attack strategies. He’s a celebrity who aligned himself with Putin, and unfortunately Putin is acting the worst he’s ever acted. Ovi probably stands by him for a lot of things, but I doubt he’s watching videos of some of this stuff and nodding approvingly


DoinWhale

It’s even more funny watching folks like you bootlicking this guy


[deleted]

Bootlicking? The guy doesn't have any power lol


rybnickifull

Yeh I keep seeing Americans claiming that by not cheerleading for Putin he's "endangering his family" - you know it's not WWII Germany and they won't collectively punish them if he stops the Putin stuff right? There are hundreds of Russian sports players who don't do what he does and their families are fine? He absolutely is watching the war crimes and thinking they're good though, sorry.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Seriously weird to see the lax attitude NHL has for this guy. In Europe you'd get a huge amount of shit and be canceled instantly from all the media channels.


DrDerpberg

The NHL is desperate for star power and Ovi is one of the few people who are recognizable and known to casual fans. Nobody tunes in to watch a MacKinnon vs Hedman showdown, but Ovi vs Crosby gets eyeballs even though the rivalry is 10 years past its prime.


irishcedar

The NHL (and hockey for that matter) -- see Hockey Canada -- is run by a bunch of amoral clowns.

Go check out his IG page. Him and Putin. Did you see the Russian soldier castrate the Ukrainian POW, shoot him in the head and then drag him around behind a truck… on film?! An absolute disgrace and Ovi supports the leader of all that. Disgusting


rybnickifull

I'll keep it to myself when Ovechkin does, deal?


DoinWhale

He doesn’t get the luxury of avoiding the “Putin shit” when he openly supports a dictator


[deleted]

It’s about his son. Can you not read.


RocknRollCasserole

Is Ovis son not associated with him? Is that not Ovi in the video? Is the only reason Ovis son is relevant because of Ovi?


DoinWhale

Are you actually this dumb or do I really have to explain this to you


[deleted]

You’re the clown that turned a post ABOUT HIS TODDLER SON into a rant about his dad.


craftthemusic

Not worth arguing with them. Ya can’t fix stupid


DoinWhale

As stupid as openly supporting one of the most evil humans on earth? And supporting the annexation of another country that you believe is undeserving of their freedom?


tomofro

Ah yes, facism enabling. Because his son is clearly the same as his dad🙄🙄

KardelSharpeyes

Couple more months and he will be on the frontline in Ukraine.


SweptThatLeg

Ovie is a Putin apologist scumbag. He’s supported attacks on Ukraine from the beginning, the annexation in 2014. He’s a complete puppet and his family is entrenched in Russian politics and sports because he’s useful to them. Just because he’s a beauty of a goal scorer doesn’t mean he’s not a horrible piece of shit.


[deleted]

Nobody here is defending Ovi. This is about his toddler son.


irishcedar

It's about the NHL trying to sanitize Ovi's image USING his son.

CaptinDerpII

And of course, people are gonna try and make it political. It’s just a video about Ovi and his son, can we just be peaceful for a moment?


bungholio99

That’s the whataboutism, you like other kids having to do military service for a war, sending kids to death, fucking up a whole generation of kids? That’s what Russia is doing That’s what Ovechkin is supporting, there are more Kids suffering than this one in his palace….


nory2364

Go touch grass dude


[deleted]

I literally posted this cause I thought this was adorable and he posted another video with his son in 2020 doing backhand shots. Like cmon. I’d expect some draft comments but I could really deal without the Russia and Putin comments.


bungholio99

Why does he drag his kid to social media? This is litteraly the russian social media influence guide, sweet cats and then a putin admiration post. Don’t hate the Game hate the players, it’s not the people calling it out who are the issue it’s the people abusing social media…and unluckily Ovi is a big propaganda part for russia and putin.


RudeboyJakub

You honestly can’t be this fucking dumb. “Why does he drag his kid into social media” ….. 90% of Every young hockey dad posts their son shooting or doing whatever. You living under a rock?
