Athletistic / Hockey. Washington Capitals captain and forward Alexander Ovechkin shared his emotions following the game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL regular season. Last night, the Penguins beat the Capitals with a score of 4:1.
“In the first period, we had good chances, and the opponent had two shots that hit the skate, the stick and entered our goal. It’s hard, but we tried to come back, we also had good chances, but their goalkeeper played really well today.
It seems to me that we often try to make an extra pass, to hold the puck a little longer, to try to make a nice play. It doesn’t work that way, especially at the decisive moment of the season when everyone is trying to focus on winning and playing faster. So we need to make decisions more quickly. Tomorrow, a new day and an important match await us, ”Ovechkin is quoted as saying by the Washington press service.
It was Alexander Ovechkin who scored Washington’s only goal in this match. In 72 matches this season, the 38-year-old Russian has scored 60 points (27+33) thanks to the goal+pass system.
