Kovalev admitted he immediately appreciated Gretzky’s potential.
ESPN reporter called Ovechkin a ‘goal-scoring machine’
“It was immediately obvious how talented this man was. At any age, even when he was finishing his career. The way he sees the game, reads it. It’s not for nothing that people say that he, like a chess player, saw five advances what had to be done. Another thing is that his partners didn’t always understand him well. I always knew that if you give him a pass, he will definitely find you , the main thing is to open correctly”, Shayba. kz quotes Kovalev as saying.
Remember that Gretzky holds the record for goals scored in the NHL. Second on this list is the Russian captain of the Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin.
