Alex Ovechkin begins a new journey off the ice with Yandex-backed documentary project
After 20 years of changing the definition of goal-scoring in the NHL, Washington Capitals legend Alex Ovechkin was now about to bring forth his story that encompasses more than just life on the ice. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Russian superstar went into a partnership with Yandex to produce a documentary that will highlight his historic hockey career and life. As he approaches a final NHL contract year, richer layers are being added to his already famous legacies, so this time, his fans can get a modern perspective on his growth. The story of Alex Ovechkin was to be told through a film and a series The new project will be produced by Yandex's production branch, Plus Studio, with streaming rights being obtained by KinoPoisk, one of the most renowned platforms owned by Yandex. The documentary, or perhaps the full series, will mainly be shot in North America, where Alex Ovechkin built his legendary NHL legacy. Though the details about the storyline or the actual release date have been kept under wraps, the one thing that has been assuredly confirmed is the scale of the production. Ovechkin and his representatives have given the filmmakers a blank check for creative access to his life and career. There are currently 897 goals under his belt, alongside an inviolable reputation within the hockey world, meaning the story will capture more than just goals-it will capture grit, leadership, and metamorphosis. From Russian beginnings to Washington greatness The Great Eight | The Story Behind Alexander Ovechkin Alex Ovechkin now sits in a place of American hockey fame, but his journey started in Russia as a rising star in the country's top league present-day KHL. His extraordinary talent as a goal scorer kept hogging the attention of the wider hockey world, and in 2004, the Washington Capitals took Ovechkin first overall in the NHL Draft. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Since his debut in 2005, Ovechkin has indeed been the heart and soul of the Capitals beyond his never-been-seen-before goal-scoring feats and has maintained the traits of leadership on and off the rink. Ovechkin was appointed captain in 2010 and eventually led Washington to its first-ever Stanley Cup victory in 2018. The documentary surely puts the spotlight on these landmark junctures, as well as his everlasting link to his Moscow birthplace, and his second home, Washington, D.C. Also Read: Having entered his 21st NHL campaign, Ovechkin now faces quite a crossroads, with the final year of his contract lying before him and no official retirement plans sworn. So this documentary deal could not come at a better time because it offers an opportunity to slow down this otherwise high-octane career and invite a revisit of all the landmarks that shaped one of the all-time greats of hockey.

Pamela Anderson Repeats Claim Sylvester Stallone Offered Her Condo, Porsche To Date Him
Last Updated: Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Pamela Anderson has once again addressed her explosive claim that Sylvester Stallone once offered her a Porsche and a condo in exchange for being his 'No. 1 girl." Appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, the Baywatch icon stood by her story, originally shared in her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story. Host Andy Cohen brought up Stallone's denial of the incident, asking Anderson, 'What do you think about him denying it?" To this, the 58-year-old actress simply replied, 'Well, how could you make that up? That was pretty specific." Cohen then lightened the moment by asking if a different car might have swayed her. 'Maybe like a Shelby Cobra or something?" he joked. Anderson laughed and replied, 'No, no, no, no, no." In Pamela, a Love Story, the actress had claimed, 'I remember talking to Sylvester Stallone one time and he offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his No. 1 girl. And I was like, 'Does that mean there's a No. 2? Uh-uh.' He goes, 'That's the best offer you're gonna get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.'" She added in the film, 'I wanted to really be in love. I didn't want anything less than that." Shortly after the documentary aired, a representative for Stallone denied the story in a statement to PEOPLE, calling Anderson's remarks 'false and fabricated." 'Mr. Stallone confirms that he never made any portion of that statement," the rep asserted. Meanwhile, both stars have moved on in their personal lives. Stallone has been married to model Jennifer Flavin since 1997. Anderson, meanwhile, has sparked romance rumors with her Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson. Cohen even teased their budding romance on the show, saying, 'All of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say."
