He fired from every position, the statisticians counted eight shots at his goal in the match, by far the most of all players on the ice. However, Ovečkin did not come to the goalie Oliers Koskinena.
Once an empty goal yawned at him, his teammate Kuznetsov even raised his hands above his head to celebrate the goal, but Ovechkin was simply not tried in the Rogers Arena.
And it was the video from this unchanged opportunity that Jágr placed on his Twitter. He also sent a message to Ovechkin.

“Come on, Ovi. I’m already sending a video to congratulate you. I need motivation to return (to the NHL). I believe that every record has its aura, its own protection. Can anyone find out how many shots on the goal Wayne Gretzky needed to break Gordie Howe’s record (to get from 801 goals to 802)? That would be interesting, “said Jágr.
It is 801 that has the second Howe on his account in the historical table of NHL shooters. Gretzky dominates her with 894 accurate hits.
