Striker and CaptainWashington » Alexander Ovechkin can win another Stanley Cup, but it all depends on who will help the Russian on the ice and on the bench, Russia’s honored coach tells Vladimir Plushev .
Ovechkin, who turned 37 on Sept. 17, won the Stanley Cup with the Capitals in 2018. He has 780 regular-season NHL goals. By this metric, Ovechkin ranks third in league history, behind Gordie Howe (801) and Wayne Gretzky (894).
– I have known Sasha since early childhood, when he was just beginning to play hockey. My son is almost the same age as him. He played in the children’s team for a year older and regularly clashed with Alexander. I know his parents very well – they are a sporty family. I just want to wish him the best.
He has already achieved a lot in his career, set a huge number of records. Although I know perfectly well that Sasha does not chase them, but plays for the result of her team. Nevertheless, our fans are thrilled when Alexander the Great establishes another feat. I wish him health, well-being, family happiness, and he will do the rest on the site.
Of course, we hope that Ovechkin will break Gretzky’s record. But let’s not rush things. We often make pious wishes and it starts to annoy the players. I repeat, Ovechkin always plays for the team result, so he is valued and respected both here and abroad.
As for another Stanley Cup for Washington, I will say the following. No matter how brilliant and skilled Ovechkin is, hockey is a team game. Here, a lot will depend on who will be next to Sasha on the field, on the bench, behind the bench.
To win such cups, many positive factors must converge at some point, and all negative factors must remain aside. Because other NHL teams don’t have boys. They have a large number of masters of the highest level, gathered from all over the hockey world. But another Stanley Cup for Ovechkin’s Washington is a doable task,” Plyushchev told .
