I have to be healthy. We have a good chance to succeed, and I am going to
attach to this hand. I do not want to miss important moments in the life of the team.

And now, when “Washington” is the first in the league – it’s like that

It is necessary to explain that the NHL will replace Ovechkin, as we assume, in the evening, Moscow time. It is also necessary to negotiate with hockey: suddenly one of them have already bought tickets to Florida and had planned to lie on the beach for three days?
And when the candidate of the Metropolitan Division will be known, the league will call his name. I would like, of course, that it was a Russian hockey player.

Interestingly, Alexander Ovechkin still took part in the match with “Philadelphia”.
Points are not scored, but caused 6 shots on goal and had five power devices, showing the usefulness of «+2».
In the third period, “Washington” inferior, but equalized through the transfer of Eugene Kuznetsova, who perfectly struggled for the puck.
Kuzma – but who is worthy to replace Ovechkin at the All-Star Game!
But in overtime victory still went to “pilots».
