On Tuesday, September 17, Ovechkin turned 39.
— I wish Sasha success, prosperity and health. Health is the most important thing. I want to wish him to break Gretzky’s record and become the greatest of all time. This is not an end in itself, but the whole country dreams of it. I hope that evil tongues do not say that he will never be able to do this, so that there will be no doubt abroad. But the most important thing, I repeat, is that Sasha is healthy and injuries are beyond his control. He has everything else.
Ovechkin deserves great respect because over the years he has not changed and remains the same simple and kind guy, despite the fact that he has long been far from simple. Victories and achievements have not changed him for the worse, on the contrary, he has only become better and stronger. He is a real Russian. He represents our country abroad with great dignity and has been doing it for a long time, “Prudnikov told .
Ovechkin ranks second on the NHL’s all-time scoring list with 853 goals, behind Gretzky (894). As a member of Washington, Ovechkin won the Stanley Cup in 2018 and, with the Russian national team, he won the world championship three times.
