ARLINGTON, Va. -- It didnt take long for Alex Ovechkin to feel comfortable back on the ice with the Washington Capitals.Ovechkin made his training camp debut Wednesday after playing at the World Cup of Hockey, joined by Russian teammates Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov. Russia lost to Canada in the semifinals Saturday, and Ovechkin got a couple of days off like other World Cup players felt physically OK when getting back to work.It was kind of hard to be back on the ice, but after a couple drills you start to feel the puck again and skating abilities (are) coming back, Ovechkin said.Playing three exhibitions, three round-robin contests and one semifinal game at the World Cup was a mental and physical grind because the tournament was a new challenge. Playing meaningful hockey in the fall is significantly different than the playoffs in the spring or even the Olympics in the winter.Ovechkin believes that made a difference at the World Cup.I think if it was during the year like Olympic Games I dont think U.S. would lose, I dont think Finland would lose, Ovechkin said. It would be a totally different tournament if it was during the year, not before the year when everybody not in shape, everybody never been in this position before.Ovechkin supports the idea of the World Cup, arguing that its a good and a bad thing because of the level of play and the potential for injuries. The three-time Hart Trophy winner who led the NHL in goals last season just turned 31 and isnt worried about the extra seven games on his body.I dont think its gonna mean a lot, Ovechkin said, adding that when the season starts he believes having played in the World Cup will help players who played in these tough games.Kuznetsov said it felt good to be home with the Capitals and be back in hockey mode. Playing with Kuznetsov, Ovechkin got into hockey mode at the World Cup and is beginning the adjustment back to the NHL.Its nice to be back, obviously, Ovechkin said. Its kind of when youre waiting when the seasons over like, `OK Im gonna have a couple months to wait. But as soon as three weeks off you feel like the seasons gonna have to start right away because you miss this atmosphere and attention. Sometimes it just gets boring.Ovechkin tied for the team lead in points for Russia with three in four games. The 525-goal scorer might be ready to play in a regular-season game right now but will have some time to ramp back up for Oct. 13 against the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.Thats why we have a couple more weeks to be in that shape, Ovechkin said.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .

GENEVA -- Juventus topped the 2012-13 Champions League prize money table, collecting more than 65.3 million euros ($86.3 million) from UEFA despite losing in the quarterfinals to eventual winner Bayern Munich. UEFA published figures Tuesday showing that Bayern got 55 million euros ($77.7 million) in payments and bonuses, edging beaten finalist Borussia Dortmund (54.16 million euros; $71.55 million). UEFA shared 904.6 million ($1.196 billion) euros in group-stage payments to 32 teams in the first of a three-year cycle of commercial contracts. Juventus was helped to the top by a near-45 million euro ($59.5 million) share of Italian broadcast rights. AC Milan, beaten in the last-16 by Barcelona, collected 51.4 million euros ($67.9 million). The two Italian powers cashed in as the only Serie A clubs to reach the group stage -- boosting their income for UEFAs "Financial Fair Play" calculations which require clubs to aim toward breaking even on their football business. In recent years, Italian clubs have struggled to match the earning streams of the biggest clubs in England, Germany and Spain. Real Madrid got 48.4 million euros ($63.9 million) from UEFA, and fellow semifinalist Barcelona got 45.5 million euros ($60.1 million). In sixth place was Paris Saint-Germain, receiving 44.7 million euros ($59.1 million). Manchester United, another last-16 loser, topped English clubs in the Champions League with 35.5 million euros ($47 million). However, Chelsea earned more in total when its UEFA payments for a winning run to the Europa League title were added. Chelsea got 30.777 million euros ($40.7 million) from the Champions League and, after failing to advance from its group, added an extra 10.dddddddddddd7 million euros ($14.1 million) from joining the second-tier competition. Chelsea had been the biggest Champions League earner the previous season when its title run earned 59.9 million euros (then $73.1 million). Arsenal collected 33.523 million euros ($44.33 million) in total for reaching the Champions League last 16, adding 31.423 million euros ($41.53 million) from the group-stage to an earlier playoff round fee of 2.1 million euros ($2.8 million). Manchester City, which finished last in its group, received 28.777 million euros ($38 million) from UEFA. The lowest earner among Champions League teams was Dinamo Zagreb which failed to win a match and collected 10.5 million euros ($13.88 million). BATE Borisov received 10.89 million euros ($14.4 million), including a relatively tiny 290,000 euros ($383,000) as its share of TV payments from the Belarus rights deal. All 32 teams got a basic 8.6 million euros fee ($11.36 million) for reaching the group stage, and then earned 1 million euros ($1.32 million) per win and 500,000 euros for each draw. Payments steadily increased for each knockout round. The Champions League also subsidized the Europa League for the first time, allowing UEFA to distribute 209 million euros ($276 million) from the group-stage onwards to the second-tier competition. Fenerbahce, which reached the semifinals, got the biggest payment with 11.18 million euros ($14.78 million). Liverpool, a five-time European champion, got 5.03 million euros ($6.65 million) from its Europa League last-32 run. Liverpool did not qualify for UEFA competitions this season, further widening the revenue gap to its English rivals.
