He stressed the importance of teamwork, saying he couldn't have achieved his milestone of surpassing Wayne Gretzky's record without their support. Ovechkin spoke candidly about the surprising attention he received this season as he neared the record, which he described as exciting for hockey.
"Well, uh, be honest with you, before this season, obviously last year, like no one thought it can be happen because 894 it's huge number, right? But as soon as I get closer and closer, closer and closer, I have so much attention. It's been crazy, to be honest with you."
"It was important to introduce my teammates and give them the spotlight, too, because I would have never broken Wayne Gretzky's goals record without them."
