 | | Tretyak about Ovechkin’s throws: the puck flies at a speed of 180 km/h, the human reaction is not enough to reflect. One option is to roll out on it. I would do that28.03.2025 |
Vladislav Tretyak spoke about how to stop Alexander Ovechkin. The 39-year-old Captain Washington scored 879 goals in 1465 games in the NHL regular championships. He continues the race for the league record belonging to Wayne Gretzki (894 goals in 1487 games).
- Explain as a great goalkeeper, why no one can stop Ovechkin’s throw when he clicks from his office? What is his secret?
- I myself sometimes think: how can it be? All goalkeepers know very well where Ovechkin throws, especially in the majority. He scored a bunch of heads from his point!
And because it is a powerful click when the puck flies at a speed of 180 km/h. And I asked my grandson, goalkeeper Maxim Tretyak. He confirmed my opinion: the human reaction is not enough to reflect such a puck. You don’t even have time to raise your hand! Not only to think and assess the situation.
In general, everything is on reflexes, this is natural. But when I played, the washers flew at a speed of 90 km/h. More than a hundred, probably, no one beat. Because there were completely different clubs - wooden, they did not bend.
So on the side of Ovechkin modern clubs. And of course, the power of the throw. Sasha himself is very powerful. And he puts his whole soul into a click.
The only option here is if you only get out of the gate and the puck will get into your body. That`s just that you can take Ovechkin. But this is necessary for skill. We must look at the person who gives Sasha a pass. Will he throw himself or is he still a program? And if the assistant has already looked at Ovechkin, then you must roll out at Alexander. I would do that. Then more often the goalkeepers would stop his throws.
- Why don`t modern goalkeepers do this?
- it is clear that they still lack perseverance in the study of the opponent, experience. Maybe they do not see the very beginning of the pass. Otherwise, there is no chance there. If the puck passes by you, this is a goal. Because the human reaction is not enough for Ovechkin`s clicks to beat off. Here is such a hockey now.
Well, not all the forwards can throw it like that, but Ovechkin can. But I also want to say- this, of course, is the merit of partners. They stretch the players and give the pass at the last moment to Ovechkin, and he clicks and scores on the move, ”said the President of the FHR and the former goalkeeper of the USSR national team.
Ovechkin returned his 2013-scores in the rhythm of the 27-year-old!
