Vyacheslav Fetisov: Ovechkin is a natural-born scorer

He shared his opinion about Ovechkin on the air of Radio Russia. Ovechkin has already managed to surpass the record of Canadian Wayne Gretzky in the number of goals in a calendar month for a career in the United States. . Before Gretzky’s sniper record, once considered unattainable, was updated, Ovechkin had only eight goals left to score. “He is a born bombardier. Gretzky is, of course, a multilateral hockey player. The record [Gretsky] on points for sure no one will ever beat - what he did there with gears. But Sasha - he is purely scoring such a classic. Well, the classic word here is unacceptable - there will be no such second. That’s how he appeared, says Fetisov. I also worked as a coach, as a defender. I knew we were playing against Gretzky. Gretzky's record is incomparable, Fetisov noted, and when the Canadian retired, it was believed that it was unrealistic to surpass him. Vyacheslav Fetisov admitted that he was following Ovechkin’s “race” in an attempt to surpass this achievement. “Recently, especially, Sasha and I are friends, recently, when he comes to Moscow, we discussed this topic a lot,” Fetisov said. I know he was second somewhere. I say, "Look, the other ones are mostly sorry." So let’s be patient, my friend, and do it – inscribe yourself forever in this pantheon of great things for humanity on planet Earth.
