Olympic champion Dynamo Alexander Pashkov, in a conversation with , said that Ovechkin now hampered by the hype associated with his race for the record Wayne Gretzky .
Saturday night “Washington” beat at home “Winnipeg” with a score of 4:1. Ovechkin scored two goals. Now the Russian has 802 NHL goals and is second in the league’s list of top marksmen. Ovechkin got ahead Gordie Howe , who scored 801 goals. Wayne Gretzky is the all-time leading scorer in NHL history with 894.
– Ovechkin’s records are important not only for Dynamo, but for our whole country. As for the prospect of breaking Gretzky’s record, it will be difficult. There are factors that do not depend on Ovechkin. This, in particular, injuries, the state of his health. Anything can happen here. And I don’t much like the raging campaign around Alexander about his run for Gretzky either. I think somehow it bothers him. The press and fans need to be more relaxed about this. Sasha needs help now. He can break Gretzky’s record, but you need favorable conditions for that,” Pashkov told .
Ovechkin played for the Moscow club from 2001 to 2005, as well as in the 2012/13 lockout season.
