00:00So, let's talk about Alex Ovechkin for a minute. Ovi broke his leg in DC as he tries to catch
00:08Wayne Gretzky. Is that the worst injury for a guy like him at his age or is it the same
00:14type of heel, no matter how old you are, six to eight weeks for a fracture?
00:18Well, I don't know about you, Scott, but for me, 40 sounds really young, okay? I think
00:25he's a young man in my world. The definition of young is younger than the doctor, right?
00:30But in any case, it's a fibula fracture. Aidan Hutchinson was the big bone, the weight-bearing
00:36bone, tibia. This is a non-weight-bearing bone for Ovechkin. Four, six weeks or so is
00:42not unrealistic. It's pain tolerance. It will heal. No surgery. Yes, he's elderly in the
00:49hockey world, but expect a full recovery, you know, Merry Christmas or Happy New Year,
00:55either way.
00:56Do you think he'll catch Gretzky when he comes back and do it this season or is he gonna
01:01need another season?
01:02Well, I don't know. Maybe another season. I mean, look, we all saw Mike Tyson at 58.
01:08I'm not calling Ovechkin 58, but he's not Ovechkin of old, so it might take a little
01:13more time.
