Presenter and commentator at Dmitry Guberniev stated that the captain of the Washington Alexander Ovechkin unlucky in the last few games, but he can become the best sniper in NHL history.
Ovechkin hasn’t scored a goal in his last nine games. The Russian hockey player ranks second on the list of best snipers in NHL history with 827 goals; the 38-year-old striker is still 67 goals ahead of Canadian Wayne Gretzky’s record.
— The hockey gods don’t want him to catch up with the Great One yet. The symptoms are real. I hope Ovechkin starts scoring and catches up to Gretzky, but now we have to come to terms with the hockey gods. They want Wayne Gretzky, the idol of all time, to be first. Sasha is also a brilliant hockey player, the one and only, but they have different roles, textures and philosophies. Sasha is worth it, I believe in him. You just have to wait and score,” Guberniev told .
Washington will play its next match on December 11 (3:00 a.m. Moscow time) against Chicago.
