Ovechkin in Midst of Online Controversy
NHL veteran and exceptional goal scorer Alex Ovechkin has had a remarkable career as one of the best snipers in NHL history. However, his popularity has been tainted by his public affiliation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which has drawn criticism amidst the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.
Popular Hockey Website Targets Ovechkin
MoneyPuck, a popular website that tracks various hockey statistics, is known for its public stance on social issues, including calling out players who refuse to wear pride jerseys. It seems that Ovechkin is now in their sights, as fans have noticed a recent change on their site.
Ovechkin's name on MoneyPuck now reads "Alex 'I Support Putin' Ovechkin." Furthermore, clicking on his name redirects to an article discussing Ovechkin's close ties to Putin and a donation page for Ukraine relief efforts.
MoneyPuck's stance on Ovechkin and his continued support from the league is evident, sparking further controversy surrounding the superstar's political affiliations.
