Sport picks Kravchuk about Ovechkin`s race for Gretski: Captain Washington is not on his personal record, he is dissolved in team interests and is preparing to fight for Stanley`s Cup
Igor Kravchuk said that for Alexander Ovechkin, team successes are more important than personal. The Captain Washington is in second place in goal in regular championships in the history of the NHL (889), second only to Wayne Gretzka (894). - I hope that the sniper race of Alexander Ovechkin for Wayne Gretzki, who pays great attention is paid to the finish line, comes to the finish line.
The last match of Washington and Winnipeg, the leaders of the championship, became indicative. The metropolitan club, in general, decided the main task of the regular season, somewhere his captain could play personal statistics, but this does not happen.
On the contrary, the external impression is that Ovechkin does not go behind a personal record, but for a command result. The captain, one might say, is dissolved in team interests-and Washington at the maximum is preparing for the playoffs, for the struggle for the Stanley Cup.
This factor is very important, because hockey is a team game. And this factor only emphasizes the greatness of Ovechkin.
-What do you say about the goal of the 889th?
- you need to have exceptional skill in order to throw such - by no means obvious - goals. Before you is one of the best goalkeepers of the NHL, but you follow a quick, whiped throw, and the goalkeeper, who is on the movement, has no chance.
- when to wait for the record - this season or already next?
- already said that half a show for a match analyzed by sport prediction types is an ordinary schedule for Ovechkin. Probably, Captain Washington has an internal focus to complete everything in this championship. The chances are very good, "said two -time Olympic champion Igor Kravchuk.
