Athletistic / Hockey. Former head coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Plyushchev shared his opinion on the match of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin. According to Pliushchev, he deserves more praise. But with all the hype surrounding Alexander Ovechkin’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s record, Malkin is in the shadows.

Ovechkin sparked massive brawl during Washington-Pittsburgh game

“In my opinion, taking into account all the achievements and records of Evgeniy, he is not given due attention due to the increased PR and hype around Ovechkin’s pursuit of the record Gretzky. The press in Russia and the United States writes about this equally often and fuels interest in this event.

For these reasons, Malkin has been overlooked, even though he is still capable of solving many problems in hockey. In any case, I consider this a problem exclusively for those who do not notice it,” RT quotes Plyushchev in Russian.
