Evgeny Kuznetsov spoke about the game of Alexander Ovechkin. – What is Ovechkin’s secret? Why does he score so many from his office when he shoots from the left faceoff circle?
– You know, it happens that you play with someone, and he constantly shouts to you: I’m open! I`m open! But the greatness of Ovechkin is that he has a scoring instinct. He knows where to be at the right moment. Where to speed up, where to stop.
There are hockey players who don’t run after the puck, but try to predict where it will end up. And by their opening, they themselves suggest to their team partner that the transfer should go to him. Because at the NHL level, in 99. 9% of cases, everyone in such a situation will make a pass to Ovechkin - everyone knows that he is the best scorer from that point.
There are many nuances here, but the main thing is that Ovechkin’s office in the league has been operating for almost 20 years, ” said SKA forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, who previously played for Washington.
