Russian coach Andrei Nazarov said that Russian forward Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin should please fans with goals scored as long as possible.
On Tuesday, Ovechkin scored a double and an assist in the NHL regular season game against the New Jersey Devils (6:2). Ovechkin, 38, has 838 goals during his championship career, with Canadian Wayne Gretzky being the leader for this indicator (894).
— The main advice to Ovechkin is to please ourselves with goals as long as possible. If you can play until 45, great. I can tell you from life experience: when you play hockey, time flies. But when you’re done, you immediately become addicted to hockey and want to come back. There is even a concept of “adrenaline junkie” – an adrenaline lover, an addiction to adrenaline. There is no escaping this.
We see how Ilya Kovalchuk returned to big hockey at the age of 40 – and clearly not for money. He still has the passion to win. At 52, Jaromir Jagr owns a hockey club and continues to play on the ice. Sasha, judging by his physical form, is also capable of playing for a long time. This is exactly what I want to wish him. The main thing is that your health allows it,” Nazarov said as quoted by “Championship”.
