Motorist ahead Vasily Filyaev said he was following the NHL and pursuit of Washington Capitals forward Alexandra Ovechkina behind Wayne Gretzky’s sniper record.
Gretzky scored 894 goals in his career. The 38-year-old Russian currently has 848 goals.
—I’m Pittsburgh, Crosby, Malkin. And of course, behind Washington, Alexander Ovechkin. We are waiting for his record! I follow all the teams, I wake up every morning and I look at the reviews. I wonder how they score goals there. You notice all kinds of subtleties, and then during training you try to do something. It’s still the best league.
— Pucks are more difficult now, everyone blocks them and catches them. It was simpler in Gretzky’s era.
– Yes, I agree that everything is difficult. Besides, I think the press can put pressure on us. But at the same time, he is a professional. Watching Gretzky’s goals, Zhora rightly noted that they seemed to come easily into the video. But, of course, we are waiting for a record,” Filyaev said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
This season, Ovechkin has 58 points (26+32) in 69 regular season games in the NHL.
