 | Pashkov about Ovechkin and Gretzky’s record: I really don’t like the campaign unleashed around Alexander and his race. The press and fans need to be calmer27-07-2024 |
Alexander Pashkov spoke about Alexander Ovechkin’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s record.
The Washington captain scored a double in the match with Winnipeg (4:1), scoring his 801st and 802nd goals in the NHL regular season. He moved into 2nd place among the leading scorers in league history, ahead of Gordie Howe (801). Only Wayne Gretzky (894) is ahead.
Ovechkin`s records are important not only for Dynamo, but also for our entire country. As for the prospect of breaking Gretzky`s record, it will be difficult to do. There are factors that have nothing to do with Ovechkin. These are, in particular, injuries and his state of health. Anything can happen here.
I also really don’t like the campaign unleashed around Alexander in connection with his race for Gretzky. I think that one way or another it bothers him. Both the press and fans need to behave more calmly in this regard.
Sasha needs help now. He can break Gretzky’s record, but this requires favorable conditions, the Olympic champion said.
