Athletistic / Hockey. Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev shared his opinion on the start of the season for Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin. He failed to score a goal in his first four games.

“Sasha is an experienced player, but older; older hockey players have a little more difficulty starting the season. But his experience and skills suggest that there is no tragedy.

I don’t know how close he will be able to get to Gretzky this season, but I think he will find the form that will help the club and its image as a whole,” Gazeta.ru quotes Plyushchev.
