The natural decline of skill usually starts in the early thirties. 32 or 33 would be a good guess as to when it starts. If that truly is the case no one has let Alex Ovechkin know that. The now 34 year old has started the season just like any other of his career if not a little better.
It’s been one heck of a career already for the “Great Eight”. If you’re reading this you probably don’t need me telling you how great his career has been. Ovechkin will go down as one of the greatest players to ever play the game and will likely be a top three goal scorer of all time.
