Alex Ovechkin says Capitals have a refrigerator with beer in the coach's room: 'I can't imagine a [player] who says he doesn't drink'
Briefly

I don't hide it, I like the taste of beer. I like light beer, sometimes I can drink Guinness. I can't imagine a [player] who says he doesn't drink, 'he quit.' You can take a break for a certain time, but after the game, 2 to 3 cans of beer - with pleasure. It's useful. In Washington, we have a refrigerator with beer in the coaching room. It's normal.
We just like to relax. After hockey, you are tired, a couple of glasses of wine or beer is normal... It relieves tension. A little. Two glasses of beer is normal. There's nothing special here. When training starts, you have to give it up during the preseason, when you are training, getting into shape, trying to lose extra pounds, you try to limit yourself in food and drink.
