“It was difficult for Gordy to score 800 goals, for me too. If it was just a task, everyone would score 800 goals. But it’s difficult. Gordy was happy for me when I broke his record. I have the same feelings for Ovechkin. When he breaks the record, I hope I’ll be one of the first to shake his hand,” Gretzky said.
