Ovechkin spoke about the difficulties preparing for the new NHL season

Russian striker “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin recounted the difficulties he had to face preparing for the new season in NHL .

On Wednesday in Kazan, Ovechkin took part in the farewell match of five-time Gagarin Cup winner as part of Ak Bars and Metallurg Magnitogorsk Danis Zaripov.

How is your preparation for the season going? Is everything alright?

– Everything is going as planned. Of course, there are certain difficulties. But we try to manage them.

– What are the difficulties?

For example, the weather is hot or cold. They cover it, they close it. That’s what I was trying to say.

– You did not call the new head coach of “Washington”?

– He worked in the club system, we basically know each other. I wouldn’t have learned anything new.

Do you think he will change the style of the Capitals?

I don’t know, I only spoke to him once.

– Were you happy for Dmitry Orlov that he received a good contract from Carolina?

– Yes of course. Too bad he didn’t sign with us. Again, it’s business. Someone comes, someone leaves.

Q: When you faced Vegas in the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals, did you feel this team would be a big hit going forward?

— Each team can have its own chance, especially in the playoffs. Nobody thought, for example, that Florida would beat everyone and reach the final? The playoffs are very unpredictable, – the correspondent reports Ovechkin’s words.

Ovechkin is the owner of the Stanley Cup, three-time world champion in the Russian team. The 37-year-old Russian with 822 goals ranks second among the NHL’s top scorers, behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
