Michal Neuvirth apparently had some choice words for teammates and former coach Dale Hunter during an interview with iSportz.cz. When he spoke about team captain Alex Ovechkin he said, "he isn't what he used to be, that's for sure" and "if a team like ours wants to have a chance in Stanley Cup, we need Ovi to be the best." Neuvirth also questioned former Washington winger Alexander Semin's work ethic and said he was glad that Hunter wouldn't be around anymore. There's probably going to be some damage control, which isn't uncommon for translated interviews, but nothing he said went too far despite his candidness and he was largely complimentary of Ovechkin and Semin despite those remarks.
