— What did you do during the two-week break?

— At first there was a short pause. Some played for the national team, some went on vacation, some played in the All-Star Game. Everyone benefited from this break. Well, then we had a shock labor cycle. We ran with balls and worked on physics in the gym.

— Can we say that this break came at the right time, given four consecutive defeats?

— Yes, we had a series of unpleasant defeats there. Somehow we were tired. But we must not forget that before that, there were 11 victories in a row! The break probably did some good. It’s good that this happened.

— Tonight, Ovechkin scored after 14 games. Surprised by his scoreless streak?

– Actually, I was happy for the super! Of course this happens to everyone, we are all human. He now has 14 matches without a goal, and now, I think, he will score the same number in a row. He is great!

— Will he manage to beat Gretzky’s record? There are 67 goals left.

– Certainly! Ovechkin played when I was little, he grew up and continues to play. When such people set an example for you, it’s very cool. I think he can do it.

— Do you watch the series “The Boy’s Word”? How was it?

– Yes, I already looked. Interesting series. It was interesting to see what it was like before. Of course, this is false and it is a good thing that in this day and age it no longer exists. The series just showed how it was then, and it’s good that now we all live in peace,” Kantserov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
