Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's a record that is about to be broken by
one Alex Ovechkin, Toby and Tilly in the morning, it's
ninety seven point one was ch f M. Thank you
for waking up with us.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Ovi is just eight goals away from breaking Wayne
Gretzky's all time record, and the question everyone wants to
know is do we think he can do it this season?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, who better to answer that question than the CEO
of everything Washington Capital's One, ted lely Owns his mister
chairmanly Owns's thoughts.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, I'm so proud of Alex and our organization that
you know, we've been able to draft Alex and have
to spend his whole career and it's a historic career.
Not only have we had a great team, but that
he has this chance to break an unbreakable record and
he considers Washington DC's second home. The community has really

(00:56):
really embraced Alex and vice versa. You know, it was
fair important to Alex for us to have a really,
really good team while he was in pursuit of the record,
and you know, the playoffs will start in April, and
Alex has always focused on teams success. But within that context,
I think Alex can break this record. He's forty years old,

(01:18):
you know. I think he's obviously first ballot Hall of
Famer and every game you can see history being made,
and I think he can break the record this year.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Term Leon says, yes, yes, he will break the record
this year. That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
But we don't want to Jagxon. We don't mention it.
We don't talk about it much with him. And he
guess one more year left on his deal, so you know,
if he can play this year and he can play
next year, I certainly think for his career, this record
will be his.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I really hope he doesn't do it at the last
game of the season where they're playing in Pittsburgh. Those
Penguin fans don't deserve it.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I think you can't plan for it. I think it
just has to come. But you know, it would be fantastic. Well,
if you guys want to come to a game, we
can do some fun things on this. I didn't realize
you were such a oh a big fan, and yeah,
it's a fantastic time to be a hockey fan.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Thank you for indulging us this morning. Thank you guys
are great. Thank you, yes, thank you for everything that
you do to lead. There are some people who talk
about leadership, but you, sir, and your organization, you really
do lead. In the DMV, you were one of the
shining star examples of what it means to be great
corporate citizens.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Thank you, thank you, Blessing you back. Take care,
