“How can Ovechkin escape the pressure? Now the press is just terrible. It’s good for Abascal, he’s a foreigner, they probably don’t translate to him everything they write about Spartak. Previously, there was an emergency if something happened. In modern sport, it is a heavy psychological burden for the player,” Mayorov told Match TV.
On Thursday, December 21, Ovechkin scored the decisive overtime goal in the game against Columbus. Before that, the Russian had not scored in fourteen consecutive matches.
