Commentator and presenter at Dmitry Guberniev congratulated the Russian forward of the Washington Capitals Alexandra Ovechkina happy birthday and described his career as great.
On Tuesday, September 17, Ovechkin will celebrate his 39th birthday.
— I wish Ovechkin good health, to play at the highest level for many more years and to break Gretzky’s record. He has everything for that. Ovechkin is unique. Thank you to Alexander for his brilliant career, for the minutes he has given us and is giving us. I hope he will play a few more years in the United States, and then maybe return to Russia to finish his high-level sports career in his native Dynamo Moscow.
— Is Ovechkin one of the best Russian athletes at the moment?
– Definitely one of the best. Based on the results of the last NHL season, it is difficult to say who is better: Bobrovsky or Ovechkin.
“If you look at the 21st century, Ovechkin is, of course, one of the best athletes in the Russian Federation. I wouldn’t call him the best, so as not to offend others. Ovechkin’s greatness is justified, but isn’t Alexander Bolshunov less great? Ovechkin has a great career, he is a regular in sports,” Guberniev 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.
Bolshunov won three gold medals at the 2022 Beijing Games. The 27-year-old also has four silver and two bronze medals at the Olympics, a World Championship victory and two overall World Cup victories.
