“Sasha was preparing for the season, anything can happen. He is a responsible man. There is a serious psychological burden on him. I want him to calm down a bit about this. I’m sure his goal-scoring instinct will return and Alexander will take the team forward. There is a lot of talk about him and Gretzky’s record, which is the greatest record in the history of the sport,” said Fetisov.
