Alex Ovechkin has always played for the Washington Capitals since the beginning of his illustrious career. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing.

The NHL's leading scorer didn't hold back in describing the work and relationship he had with a former Capitals coach.
For Ovechkin, perhaps the worst coach he had was Dale Hunter. The former Nordiques player didn't have a smooth relationship with the Russian player.
Ovi had one of his worst statistical seasons under Hunter's guidance. He was frank and blunt during an interview aired on YouTube.
"He's purely a coach for defensemen. As soon as we were losing, he'd put Alexander Semin, Nicklas Backstrom, and me out there. We tried to create something. But as soon as we got the lead, Semin and I would be nailed to the bench and we'd be like, 'Alright, let's watch some hockey.' He didn't care. He had his own philosophy. If it had been justified, I would have understood. But Backstrom, Semin, and I were dominant." - Alex Ovechkin

That's pretty clear...
