A win against the Caps always feels good. I really wonder what happened to Ovechkin, though. Some guesses:

-got too rich, too famous, too fast and felt he could cruise on his schtick for life
-nobody has actually sat down with him to address his lack of evolution as a player
-became complacent after getting his millions
-is actually quite sensitive and all of the "what happened to Ovechkin" stuff has shaken his self confidence and esteem
-cares less and less as he sees the Caps moving backwards instead of forwards...he doesn't feel he has to change; it's the Caps who have to change

Just some random theories. Thoughts?

Teams figured out how to defend him?

Yeah, that's where the "nobody has sat down to talk about his lack of evolution as a player" argument comes in. Somebody on that coaching staff MUST see that opponents know how to stop Ovechkin, and they need to coach him to adapt to this.
