Father of the Washington Capitals forward Alexandra Ovechkina Mikhail said he didn’t have time to see his son’s first goal live in the game against Chicago, in which the forward scored a hat trick and hit the 800-goal mark in the NHL.
The meeting took place on December 13 in Chicago and ended with a score of 7-3 in favor of the guests, Ovechkin scored three goals and scored one assist. The 37-year-old Russian forward became the third player in NHL history to score 800 goals, after Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894).
– Uncle Misha, congratulations on your son’s big birthday!
– Thank you very much it is very nice! Of course, we watched that game against Chicago live.
Did you turn on the TV? Alexander scored the first goal already in the 24th second.
“To be honest, we didn’t. We turn it on, and then everyone is already congratulating Sasha on the first puck. We only saw it on repeat. But they saw the whole stadium of Chicago throwing caps at him. Rarely do you see that kind of guest arena react to pucks against their team,” Ovechkin Sr. told .
