Spencer Carbery, coach of the Washington Capitals, discussed how he possesses a signed wooden stick used by Wayne Gretzky, linking its presence to Alex Ovechkin's success in scoring goals. Carbery explained that he obtained the stick in the late 1980s as a young fan and has safely transported it from British Columbia to Washington, D.C. He keeps it at the Caps' practice facility, feeling it provides good karma as Ovechkin attempts to break Gretzky's all-time goals record, particularly significant given Ovechkin's scoring pace as he nears this historic milestone.
‘Oh, geez, this is gonna be - you ready for this one? So, actually in 198-, I think it was '88 or '87, I got a signed Wayne Gretzky stick.’
‘I brought it back on the plane, so it's currently in DC. I don't know if it's superstitious, but I had it in the office at MedStar.’
‘I feel like it's been good karma for O as he's chased this record over the last maybe 12 calendar months.’
