Athletistic / Hockey. German goaltender Olaf Kolzig, who played for the Washington Capitals from 1990 to 2008, shared his opinion on team captain Alexander Ovechkin. Kolzig admitted that he did not expect such results from the Russian.

Ovechkin is the second sniper in NHL history. He claims Wayne Gretzky’s record, which until recently seemed eternal.

“Did I think Ovechkin would be able to score 822 goals and claim Gretzky’s record? Sure, I thought Ovi was a special hockey player, but not that special! Of course not!”

I didn’t think anyone would be able to come close to this record. Ovechkin is the best natural sniper in history. And it doesn’t matter whether he manages to break Gretzky’s record or not,” Kolzig was quoted as saying by the NHL press service.
