Here is a recent photo from Afinogenov's wedding. http://allhockey.ru/news/101201/
To me he seems more out of shape than he was last off-season. He already had a number of calls in the last two seasons that he needs to revisit his approach to his hockey career, otherwise he will ruin his hockey career within the next couple of years.
What he does look like is a child, it's about time he either learned to iron his clothes or he asks his mom who lives with him, to press his clothes when he goes out in public so he looks like an adult.
His shirt is wrinkled and un-tucked and its why it looks like he has a bit of a belly or whatever, his face wise, looks the same. Whenever you shave, your face tends to look a little more fuller than when you had facial hair, for whatever reason.
Sheesh, the guy's got one of the biggest contracts in hockey and wears clothes that look like he just pulled a used shirt out of the laundry basket. I toss dress shirts in a gym bag without folding them properly because I'm too lazy to use a suitcase or pack properly and they don't look that crappy
Who cares? It's the off-season. As long as he comes to camp in shape (being able to do what he does, play 20 mins a game as well as a few full PP's) then I don't see how it's a big deal.
He's a professional athlete. It's probably not too difficult for him to lose weight and get back into game shape. Besides, he doesn't even look fat really in that picture.
Well, I am a Caps fan, and noticed that it was odd that Ovie was back over in DC in July. In the interview he said he is getting ready to start his new training regime in the next few days...Give the guy a break.
Its the Summer...he was knackered at the end of last season, and may have been instructed by the Caps to take a month off.
If he comes back in September in great condition, then thats fine by me.
