Ovechkin on Gretzky’s record: “There is only one player ahead, but let’s not rush. I want to relax a bit, now I’m going to a bar!” – hockey

Alexander Ovechkin spoke about Wayne Gretzky’s NHL scoring record chase.

Captain todayWashington” went out in 2nd place among the leading goalscorers in league history, ahead of Gordie Howe – 802 goals against 801.

Only Wayne Gretzky is ahead (894 goals).

– Well, now we will overtake Wayne Gretzky?

Step by step guys! Now there is only one player in front of me. But let’s not rush. Christmas is still ahead. I want to spend this time with my family, enjoy this moment, relax and relax a bit.

Three days off ahead. How will you spend it?

“I’m going to the bar now!” Well, in general, eat hot dogs and nachos. You know, a little hungry,” Ovechkin said.

💥 SAAAAAAAA! Ovechkin is the second sniper in the history of the NHL! He was silent for 4 games, but doubled Winnipeg and outlasted Howe

How well do you know Ovechkin’s records? Is he already the leader in goals scored? And the launches?

Ovechkin is phenomenal: up to 28 behind Lemieux, Bossy and Jagr, but he keeps pace and beats them all!
