Captain “Chicago Blackhawks” Jonathan Toews expressed his admiration for the achievement of the Russian striker “Capitals of Washington” Alexandra Ovechkina who reached the milestone of 800 NHL goals.
Washington beat Chicago on the road 7-3 on Tuesday, with Ovechkin scoring three goals and becoming the third player to score 800 NHL goals. In the list of top scorers in the history of the league, the Russian is lower than Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894).
– That’s wonderful. How many guys can score goals at his pace in a season, not to mention it repeats year after year? It is definitely one of a kind.
Incredible milestone. In a way, maybe it’s one of those things we’ll remember in the future. One of the greatest players of all time, so the standing ovation from the fans and the chanting of ‘Ovi’ in our arena was a tribute to him and his hat-trick,” NBC Sports quotes Toews.
It took 1,305 games for Ovechkin to score 800 goals, more than Gretzky (1,116) but less than Howe (1,748).
