The Soviet hockey player came up with Ovechkin an offensive nickname

The famous Soviet hockey player Alexander Maltsev, who is a two -time Olympic champion (1972, 1976), came up with an offensive nickname to the well -known Russian attacking “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin. This was said by another outstanding Soviet hockey player Boris Mayorov, who won the Olympic Games in 1964 and 1968. “You know how you know, as you know, as you know, as you know, how Sasha Maltsev speaks of Ovechkin? Now, maybe changed his mind. Or maybe not. “Duborez”! It's not me, it's Sasha Maltsev [придумал]”, Maiorov said in an interview with SE. Mayorov also admitted that he liked Pittsburgh, Evgeny Malkin, more than Ovechkin.-You once said about the star already Ovechkin-“a good physical education”. I remember something.
– I have my own views on hockey. I prefer Malkina, not Ovechkin.– After all, they walked on a crush, Washington could take Malkina in due time. Would you choose Malkina?
– Of course, Malkina!– Why?
– Because this is my player. A hockey player with good skiing, a magnificent vision of the field, a fantastic game of partners. Enough productive and disciplined. What else is needed? Malkin as a hockey player is more interesting!– Against the backdrop of the great hockey players of your time, Ovechkin would not be too quoted?
– No, he would be quoted, of course. But in a certain way. Suppose Viktor Prokhorovich Yakushev. This is the great central striker. Kharlamov is a great extreme striker. Venka Alexandrov? Great! And Ovechkina brought life to these positions, he has nothing to do with it. Everyone has their own tastes.-Once the famous goalkeeper, Olympic champion Boris Razinsky spoke about Akinfeev: “In our time he would play, of course. Somewhere in class b “.
– Ovechkin would have had his place in our hockey, this is unconditional. But in the NHL everything is sharpened on the stars, to make someone an idol. Immediately advertising, popularity. Special combinations for someone can play there. Although not all the same 895 goals Ovechkin abandoned from his point, there were from somewhere else! We recall that Ovechkin last season broke the record of the legendary Canadian hockey player Wayne Gretzka in the number of heads in the NHL regular championships. Ovechkin’s asset is already 897 goals, and Gretzki scored 894.
