— What to do when your puck doesn’t enter the goal? Give advice to Alexander Ovechkin.
— When I can’t score for a long time, I wrap the stick differently. I usually wrap half of the “feather” with tape. But when the puck does not fit into the goal for a long time, I roll up the whole “feather”.
— Do hockey players have such a sign to punish the stick? For example, immerse it in the toilet.
– No, no, in no case. Our clubs are good, there is no need to punish them. But if you rewind differently, you can score. At least that’s how it works for me.
— Do you think Ovechkin will eventually beat Gretzky’s record?
– Yes. I don’t doubt Ovechkin. I believe in Sasha and I hope everything goes well for him,” Atanasov told .
Ovechkin, 38, is the second-highest scorer in league history with 827 goals. According to this indicator, the Russian is second behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals.
