hockey specialist Leonid Weisfeld in an interview with , he expressed the opinion that only injuries can interfere with the Russian striker from Washington Alexander Ovechkin chasing records.
Ovechkin, 37, who currently has 803 NHL goals, is second to Wayne Gretzky in goals (894).
– In December, Ovechkin scored his 800th NHL goal, then beat Howe in the sniper race. Will Alexander submit to the ‘height’ of 850 goals in the new year?
– That’s 50 goals for the second half of this championship and the start of the next one? For Ovechkin, a very real figure. Alexander’s performance can only be limited by serious injuries. If they’re not, then he’ll break all those records.
Now the whole world is looking at his statistics. Even Chicago fans, when Ovechkin scored three goals against them, cheered him on.
When Gretzky set his NHL records, it seemed to everyone that they were forever. And suddenly a man appeared who could surpass them. Of course, everyone is interested in seeing that happen. Another thing is that now McDavid is scoring so many goals that it’s entirely possible to join the race.
