Vice President of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) Valery Kamensky praised the game of the Russian striker “Washington” Alexandra Ovechkina this National Hockey League (NHL) season.
On Tuesday, the Capitals defeated Philadelphia (2:1) on the road and qualified for the Eastern Conference playoffs. Ovechkin scored the team’s first goal in this game.
— There is still a long way to go to win the Stanley Cup. It’s good that Sasha led his team to the playoffs, and they got there. Everyone has the same chances, everything starts again. We will all cheer and watch Ovechkin.
A person is not a robot, he cannot constantly work at the same pace, so there was a slight decline. But this happened in just two months, it is not clear why. There are always ups and downs, but he handled them and reached his level. Now Sasha is showing the kind of hockey the public loves.
At 38 years old, scoring 31 goals is a great achievement. As great as it has been, it will remain so. Additionally, he took his team to the playoffs. He’s a talent, he doesn’t need to prove anything anymore, because he’s the second highest scorer in NHL history, but I think he’ll be first. Will he break the record next season? Sasha can do anything,” Kamensky said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Capitals will face the New York Rangers, who took first place in the regular season.
