There are legends about how the future best sniper in hockey history, Alexander Ovechkin, eats. Back in Washington’s championship year of 2018, the Stolichny defender Brooks Orpik spoke in his column on the Player’s Tribune website about Ovi’s eating habits.
“You know, this guy’s diet just amazes me and even inspires me. We have a chef who prepares our food before the game. Ovi always orders the same dish, which is called “Mama Lucia”. This is a pasta dish with chicken and cheese. After such noodles, you want to take a five-hour nap, but Ovechkin doesn’t have a hint of drowsiness. If it was eleven o’clock in the morning, long before anyone had really thought about dinner, Ovi might walk into the dining room and shout, “Mama Lucia! Mama Lucia! I don’t know. This is weird. Then, a few hours later, he’s outpacing everyone on the ice, knocking guys down and scoring pucks whenever he wants. Legend,” said Orpik, nicknamed Dad.
“I ate this stuff once. It’s too hard for me,” he added. Kevin Shattenkirk.
“Now everyone eats healthy food. But Ovechkin is true to himself,” the former teammate commented with a smile Evgeny Kuznetsov.
Now it looks like another of his secrets has been revealed. While boarding the Capitals plane bound for Toronto, Ovechkin was photographed with a Subway sandwich, most likely a spicy one with Italian sauce, which he usually buys at the gas station. In addition, Alexander had a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
“We have learned over the years that Ovechkin’s diet also includes soda on the bench during games and ground chicken before home games. In 2019, Ovechkin’s wife Nastya even filmed him eating an entire plate of spaghetti at 9 a.m. and later that evening taking on the Rangers. None of this makes sense for a high-level professional athlete. But this is the greatest sniper of all time, in his element. He does everything his own way. I’m delighted with his diet,” said the author of the blog Russian Machine Never Breaks Jan Holland.
Washington fans are divided over what Ovechkin eats.
“If someone forces him to reconsider his diet and lose his size 58 clothes, then Alexander will be a monster for at least 7 more seasons,” a Suny fan noted in the comments on the RMNB website.
“If something isn’t broken, then there’s no need to fix it. Eating a bowl of pasta and fried chicken and drinking soda during a match did nothing to harm his career. About a month or so ago during a home game, I noticed that Ovi was sitting on the bench in the photo. And next to him is a red water container wrapped in white athletic tape. Handwritten on the tape in black marker was “Ovi’s X-Files.” That’s what they call cola, I guess,” says Langway.
“Nutrition science is mostly garbage. There is no evidence that drinking buckets of water every day is beneficial. The same goes for cutting out sugar for kids. This is all based on 18th century Puritan philosophy. So “Mama Lucia” is forever!” greenspenDan left a comment.
“There is nothing wrong with eating unhealthy things occasionally, especially for such an active person like Ovechkin. Anyone, especially growing children, can eat this and feel great,” Yoshi added.
“Childhood obesity in America is through the roof. Ovi is just a monster, a genetic monster and a professional athlete. If he doesn’t change his habits after finishing his career, he could become fat,” says Sgt. Schulz.
“With a nuclear engine like Ovi’s, why do we need any diets?!” Yu concluded.
