Ex-coach Ovechkina Hanlon about the chanting of the record: I’m sure he will succeed
Glen Hanlon, the first coach of the striker Alexander Ovechkin in Washington Capitals, spoke about the pursuit of the Russian record by Wayne Gretzky’s record in the National Hockey League (NHL). His words are given the league website.
Hanlon admitted that no one had ever thought that someone would beat Gretzky’s record. “I think, three or four years ago, people doubted whether Alex could do this. I am glad for him and glad for hockey. I am sure that he will succeed. This is great when the game can get such an incentive, ”said the ex-mentor of the striker.
Earlier in the NHL, a forecast was updated when Ovechkin will bypass Gretzki in goal in regular championships. Presumably, this will happen on April 10, 2025 during the home match of Washington with Carolina Hurrikaines.
39-year-old Ovechkin takes second place in terms of heads (879) in the NHL regular championships. The lag from the leading in this indicator Gretzka is 15 goals.
