Down-the-line.com/Hockey. Legendary Canadian forward Wayne Gretzky spoke about Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin, who is the captain of the Washington Capitals. Gretzky holds the NHL record for goals scored (894). Ovechkin is second on this list with 812 goals.

“Forget the record, I’m glad he won the Stanley Cup. In hockey, the main thing is to win the championship, right? All the records mean nothing if you don’t win the championship .

“Washington” suffered a major defeat in the match with “Toronto”, Ovechkin -2

And, second, he treats people, the media, society and his country well. He is a wonderful young man. Listen, he deserves all the praise he gets.

Very happy to be surrounded by a guy who can beat my record. It won’t change my life, but it will benefit the NHL,” Gretzky said as quoted by NBC Sports Washington.
