Vice-President of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) Valery Kamensky spoke about the Washington captain’s intensive training Alexandra Ovechkina for the new NHL season.
“I know how he prepared this summer. Believe me, he is a top professional. Sasha was literally plowing. He himself admitted that he had never had such preparation in his life. I worked with personal trainers, monitored my weight and nutrition. I took this matter very seriously.
With his skill level and physical fitness, it is quite possible to break the 70-point mark in the regular season. And I wouldn’t even talk about a second youth. Come on, he’s a young guy! At the same time, he is an experienced master who has proven everything to everyone. You just need to go on the ice and score, and he has more skills than all the other players combined. The age gap does not disappear either. And most importantly, the love of hockey remains. He has the most serious intentions, as before every season, “Kamensky quotes RT.
Ovechkin ranks second on the league’s all-time scoring list with 853 goals, behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
The NHL regular season begins October 4.
