Arlington, V. – Alex Ovechchin was four months away from 40 years old and still in the first round of the NHL Play Offs, among the most consistent hitters of the Washington capital.
The color is amazing to his teammates.
Tom Wilson said, “He’s a kind.” “He’s a machine. He has made different.”
Ovechchin took the capital for the first time in the Stanley Cup in 2018, with four goals, scored four goals and Carolina ended with 19 hits to set up a showdown with a hurricane.
The seven series that began on Tuesday, just a month after Ovechchin Wayne Greatjkie’s career’s target records, is expected to move it forward as he is as a physical force with such a style that perfectly fits in the Play -of Hockey.
Wilson says, “I can’t see why he will not keep it,” why he wouldn’t continue it, “he played with Ovechin for 25 years.
His first performance in Ovechchin’s Postsison was a hit to the 20 second series opener in Montreal’s Mike Mathson, which he finished with his first overtime play -off goal. He kept Jack Evans late in the second time to win a Game 4 with a (penalized) Open-EIS check, then scored again in the game 5 clericer.
“He was outstanding in the whole series,” Spencer Carbery said, who is expected to win as the coach of the Jack Adams Award to take Washington to the top of the Eastern Conference on predecessor expectations.
“He achieved some big goals, I thought, through this series.
Last year’s play -offs did not do good for ovechin and capital. They flowed by the president’s trophy winner New York Rangers, and Ovechchin did not register a point in a series for the first time in NHL in his two decades.
Although the idea of releasing himself for not scoring in the Rangers series, Ovechchin looked like an inspired contestant this time.
“I mean, you just take it through the game,” Ovechchin said. “What happened in the past and what happened regularly during the regular season”
What happened during the regular season is Ovechchin taking the spotlight in the sport and the Greatjkie’s 894 record was considered unacceptable for a long time and has become the top scorer in the league through six games in five games.
He did this with enough time to cross the record of ovechin and capitalists and set their spectacular places to the second championship.
“To break the record and then reset and then reset and re -focus, and now (say), ‘Okay, it means more than the record to me,’ which is amazing to himself, to reach the place where he plays these play -offs compared to last year, it is night and day,” Carbari said. “He’s a year older. He is 39 years old and it is the achievement to him he is simply doing things that you simply do this in the game, can’t put your head in this league – and then the most difficult time of the year, the Stanley Cup Play Offs.”
Dylan Strome, the top scorer of Washington in the first round with Nine Point, thinks Ovechchin is doing the same thing throughout the season, somewhat more in a mixture of physicality.
“Still shutting his shots, still has great potential to score, still finds a way to open and I thought he had done a really good job,” Strome said that Ovechinchin’s 20 goals helped him reach 897 in his career. “He usually leads our team to set the tune and achieve the first goal, so he brings our team to it and we just follow the back.”
Wilson, Strome and John Carlson have been living for a long time. Since joining the Trade Deadline in March, Anthony Beauvilia learned what he liked to play alongside the fast ovechchin and found out what it looks as it looks like the capitals fight.
“He wants to show the way, and everyone jumps with him on the boat,” Beauvilier. “To do it and score him and score big goals and see some big hits, how can you dismiss him and follow him?”
