“Alexander Ovechkin is aiming for Gretzky’s record, and if he manages to break it, which we really wish, it will be a great achievement for all generations and all people. Wayne Gretzky is a true legend of world hockey. Surpassing his exploits is a global event.
This, of course, is a very difficult task, but there is a chance it is always present. So let’s wish success to Alexandre. I am sure that Ovechkin will be able to play for a few more years and, it seems to me, he should have enough time for this, ”said the News.ru portal citing Guberniev.
Currently, the Russian hockey player has 822 goals. Gretzky’s record is 894 goals.
