Hockey “Boston Bruins” Orlov said that he was shocked by the exchange from “Washington”
The Russian defender of the National Hockey League (NHL) Boston Bruins club Dmitry Orlov spoke about the shock after the exchange from the Washington Capitals. His words are quoted by Match TV.
“Everyone was in a state of shock, no one expected this,” said the 31-year-old hockey player. He remembered that he immediately called the team captain Alexander Ovechkin and wrote about the incident to the general group, after which the teammates came to his house and supported him.
Orlov was traded to Boston along with American forward Garnet Hathaway from Washington on February 24. In return, the club received forward Craig Smith and a first-round pick in the 2023 draft.
The defender has been playing for Washington since 2011. Together with the team, he won the Stanley Cup in 2018. As part of the Russian national team, the hockey player won the world championship.
