Alex Ovekkin’s wife, Nastya, went to Instagram on Thursday to share her thoughts on getting a place on the NHL’s COVID-19 availability list of Russian capitals. Ovekkin, Kuznetsov, Orlov and Samsonov were disciplined and unfit to play for a while after hanging out together in a hotel room during a recent road trip to the Capitals. Capitals as a team was fined, 100,000.
“I regret my choice to spend time with my teammates in the hotel room and away from my locker room area,” Ovechkin said in a statement released by Capitals. “I will learn from this experience.”
Breakfast is a very important meal – it can either make or break your day.

Writing in both Russian and English so that its meaning was not lost on any of his followers, Nastya took a sarcastic tone.
He writes:
Of course, only the Russian players from the Washington Capitals were together in the hotel room.
Of course, all the other players in the NHL differentiate themselves from their teammates when they play away.
Of course, you can’t catch the virus when you and your partner are sitting on the bench, when he’s scoring a goal, or when they’re all together in the lounge or locker room.
Players cannot get infected when they are in rest restaurants, rentals, supermarkets, malls, etc.
The virus only works in hotel rooms. The one that has come up with this rule is obviously very rational. By the way, both Alex Ovechkin and Dmitry Orlov have antibodies. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of their (antibodies) value and properties.
Vekki said in an interview that his mother had been diagnosed with antibodies after she became ill with Tatiana’s Kavid-19. It was not previously known that Dmitry Orlov had antibodies.
