Forward and captainWashington » Alexander Ovechkin On , he answered the question whether it is possible to score a thousand goals in the modern NHL.
Ovechkin, 39, has 868 goals in the NHL, according to this indicator he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
— Is it true that now, every time you score a goal, you keep the stick for yourself?
— I keep the stick and the puck.

I will have a special stand. Everything will go perfectly. I think it’s important for hockey players to create such a museum, to see these pucks and sticks. It will be very cool, a lot of people will want to see it. We will think about the best way to implement this.
—A thousand heads, is it really real?
– I think it’s unrealistic. Based on today’s match in the league, no,” Ovechkin told .
