Hockey agent Alexey Dementyev believes that the long-awaited goal of Russian Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin will ease the moral burden on the hockey player’s shoulders. He shared his opinion with him “Championship”.
“I can imagine how difficult it was for Ovechkin when he didn’t score the goals that everyone expected from him. You have to be very mentally prepared for that kind of pressure here. I know he is at an age where it is not possible for anything to affect him or put pressure on him.”
Of course, it is always nice to score a goal, as in the Columbus example, but the most important thing is for the team to win. “I hope that with the winning goal scored in extra time, Alexander will feel better and will relieve himself of the moral burden of not having the pucks enter the opponent’s goal,” said the manager.
On the night of December 22, Ovechkin scored a goal in the match against the Columbus Blue Jackets (3:2) in the regular season of the National Hockey League (NHL). This season, the forward appeared on the ice in 31 games and recorded only 20 points (6 goals and 14 assists).
In total, the player scored 828 goals during his time in the NHL. The difference between Ovechkin, who holds the league record for most goals in NHL history, and Wayne Gretzky is 66 goals.
