Evgeny Kuznetsov: Nobody Supports Ovechkin – NHL News – Hockey

Washington striker Yevgeny Kuznetsov said in an interview with the SE that he had supported his teammate Alexander Ovechkin in his fight for NHL players to have the opportunity to play in the 2018 Olympics. Recall that the Pkhenchkhane Games were finally held without the participation of North American Hockey players.

– Ovechkin has fought its best so that NHL hockey players can compete at the Pkhenchkhane Olympics. He was in Russia, then for the same from some Russian officials, deputies and got him.

– They are people who do not understand what it is.

– Do you fully support Ovechkin in this story?

– yes If I was at the moment when all this was solved, at least someone & # 39; a I knew – I would say too. I just did not like the fact that the players are saying to each other, "Yes, yes, yes," and then we could say that they were confused in front of the press … and that nobody wanted to talk. And it turns out that Sanya remained alone.

But in fact, the person absolutely said everything correctly. And a little upset that no one supports him. Everyone has turned a blind eye to that. I think it's wrong. We something people play sports, hockey, we all understand. And the sofa experts, who have never seen the washers, screamed some madness as: "Betrayer!"

No matter how strong Sasha is, it's psychologically, I think, it's still beating. I will never talk about the work of others. Is it really so difficult to understand that everything depended on him? Of course, he could throw everything, break here (in "Washington." – Approx I.R.) All, come to the Olympics and say, "Here I am responsible for my words." But we live at the wrong time.
