“Historic Exchange: Gretzky and Ovechkin Reflect on the Unmatched Legacy of 895 Goals”
Then it was Ovechkin’s turn to speak.
“What a day, huh? Like I always said all the time, it’s a team sport. And without my boys, the whole organization, the fans, the trainers, coaches. I would never stand here, and I would obviously never pass the Great One.
“Fellas, thank you so much. I love you so much.”
Ovechkin then joked with his Russian countryman on whom he scored the historic goal.
“Thank you, Ilya Sorokin for letting me to score 895,” Ovechkin said. “I love you brother.”
This drew a laugh from the Islanders home crowd.
