Former Washington coach Boudreau says Ovechkin will break Gretzky’s record
“There’s no pressure, there’s some sort of streak going on at the moment. The star players have that too.
Let’s relate this, first, to the team’s results, “Washington” did not have a good start this year, this point, it is clear that the team is playing unevenly, the second point, I think, is connected with the situation around Kuznetsov, this is not the first time that such rumors have circulated, they go as far as an exchange, it is also, in general, the long-time partner of Alexander, who also understands perfectly, age also takes its toll, there is no escape.
