Defender of “Washington” Dmitry Orlov told Sport24 about the experiences of his teammate, the Russian striker Alexandra Ovechkina when he does not score for a long time.
– About Ovechkin and his goals. When he scored the 800th goal, according to the show, according to the social media video, there was some kind of madness going on in your team there.
“It was an emotional moment for the team, for him, for his family. Third person in history to score 800 goals. It’s a huge number. But Sasha hasn’t stopped yet, there are goals and objectives. There was a cool atmosphere in the locker room, only then the whole uniform smelled of beer.
– Then there were several games in which Ovechkin still could not score and get past Gordie Howe. Was he nervous?
– We see that when he throws every time and he does not score, he worries. Everyone wants him to score as soon as possible. And especially during home games, because the fans were waiting for him. When you have a large number in front of you, sometimes it is not immediately possible to overcome it.
This season, 37-year-old Ovechkin has spent “Washington” 48 games, scored 30 goals and provided 22 assists.
