After the Washington Capitals were eliminated in the second round by the Carolina Hurricanes, Alex Ovechkin addressed the media, highlighting the team's special chemistry and the tough nature of the loss. Despite the frustration of not capitalizing on chances, Ovechkin remained optimistic that the team's experience this season could contribute to future success. With 6 points in 10 playoff games, he acknowledged the difficulty of facing a top-ranked penalty kill and hoped future performances would yield better results.
Yeah, it's tough, obviously. We have a special group, but obviously, you know, we have our chances. Maybe we don't execute, maybe luck was not on our side, because I don't think we played bad hockey.
Everything was clicking right away since the first practice, that first day of training camp. Everybody seemed calm and friendly, and it's grown like a snowball.
I don't feel like we played bad hockey in Carolina. The first period, the first 10 minutes, we had so many chances to get a lead and turn this game in our way.
Obviously, it's tough, but that experience that we have this year is going to help for the future a hundred percent.
