Alex Ovechkin on Capitals' Playoff Loss to Panthers: 'Kinda F--ked up Situation'

Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin expressed frustration about his team's performance in its first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers, which ended with the Caps' elimination after a Game 6 loss Friday night.

Ovechkin said the core group, which includes Nicklas Backstrom, T.J. Oshie and John Carlson, deserves blame for failing to advance.

"I think you see how we played against the best team in the regular season. We have it, but we just blow it away," he told reporters. "It is on us. It is on me, on Backy, on Osh, on Carly. It is on everybody. Kinda f--ked up situation."
