President of Norilsk Nickel, head of the board of the Night Hockey League Fund Vladimir Potanin called the forward “Washington Capitals » Alexandra Ovechkina an outstanding player, and also noted that the example of a Russian can help an Argentinian Lionel Messi win the world cup.
Ovechkin hit 800 NHL goals on Tuesday. The 37-year-old Russian became the third player in league history with 800 or more goals. In second place in the list of snipers is Gordie Howe (801), Wayne Gretzky is in the lead (894). Messi is part of the Argentina national team which will play with the French in the World Cup final in Qatar on Sunday.
– Many call Ovechkin awesome. Was it already greatness when he entered the 800 club?
Ovechkin is at least an exceptional player. As long as he’s an active hockey player, we won’t class him among the greats. The fact that he was able to win the Stanley Cup in 2018 is very cool. Maybe Ovechkin’s example will help Messi win the World Cup. Alexander fought for a silver cup for a long time and deservedly won it at the age of 32. And Messi is now 35. Perhaps he will receive such a gift, Potanin told .
– Ovechkin watched the semi-finals of the Argentina – Croatia World Cup and, inspired by the game of Messi, went to the game against Chicago, where he scored a hat-trick!
They are both winners in spirit. Messi breaks his records, Ovechkin his. And now, with Alexander one puck away from Howe, he was about to experience a big event. Becoming the second sniper in NHL history is priceless.
Can Ovi catch Gretzky?
“You can’t score that many in one season. Hockey has changed, now they don’t score as many goals. Even the “50 club” has become difficult to access. But there are still three and a half years of contract ahead of him. So theoretically you can catch up. Although we would not guess, sports is such a thing. There are injuries and failures. In order not to croak, let’s applaud Alexandre.
