After starting out his career with so much promise, Alex Ovechkin has looked like an average player the last few seasons. Former Bruin Mike Milbury says that is due to a lack of commitment on Ovechkin’s part. He says Ovechkin is inconsistent because he’s not putting his whole mind into being the best player he can be. The former Islanders head coach and general manager said it’s disappointing knowing that kind of talent could lead to a much better performance. To hear all of Milbury’s critiques, watch the video above.
