Athletistic / Hockey. Honored Russia coach Yuri Novikov spoke about Russian Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin’s pursuit of legendary Wayne Gretzky’s record in goals. Ovechkin scored 822 goals in the NHL during his career, and Gretzky – 894.

“Probably, in Canada and America, the race between Ovechkin and Gretzky is more relevant than in Russia. There, the debate on this topic is more heated.

Hasek: “The NHL is forced to pay Ukraine $2-4 billion every year for Ovechkin and other Russians to play there”

The higher you go, the more difficult it is for you, the more incidents and obstacles will come in your way. The section near the finish is the most difficult. I don’t think Ovechkin is dreaming and sees him breaking Gretzky’s record. If I am wrong, let the Great Himself say so.

Of course we will worry about him. Alexander is a unique phenomenon in sports and hockey. We expect results from him, but he does not play in the strongest team, ”Novikov quotes RB Sport.
