In case you were wondering, per the Washington Post's Alex Prewitt:
The real reason Ovechkin wanted a car so badly: He'd donate it to the NoVa Cool Cats, the local hockey club for kids with special needs.

Honda found out the reason, reached out to Ovechkin and is giving him a Honda Accord anyway. Will be delivered to the Cool Cats later.

Honda didn't enter the picture until after the fantasy draft, when they asked the same question we all did: Why the heck does he want a car?

Foligno and Toews and the other players didn't know either. So it pretty much, unintentionally, got milked for as much drama as possible.
