Ovechkin goes to an empty network for a record goal

The Blackhawks gave Ovechkin the chance at 895 and its 33rd round of the NHL hat by pulling goalkeeper Spencer Knight with just under two minutes in the third period on Friday.

Ovechkin did not move from his place on the bench when Knight came out of the ice on the fly.

He jumped over the boards to go to the other side of the bench during a time dead from Chicago after the capital frozen the washer at 6:17 pm.

The fans noticed and started to applaud, but when it was time to start playing again, Ovechkin had to return to the bench because Nic Dowd, Andrew Mangiapane and Ryan Leonard were on ice when Washington frozen the washer. By rule, they had to stay in the game.

However, at no time after Knight’s shooting, Ovechkin wanted to go on the ice, firmly firm in his conviction that he did not want to establish the goals of all time in the NHL with an empty net goal, even if he has already marked a record for the NHL 65 of them.

“‘Stromer’ (Dylan Strome) Ask me, ‘Carly’ (John Carlson) asks me, everyone asks me, ‘Do you want it?’ ‘”Ovechkin said. “I said,” Let’s wait. “”

Carbery always wanted to be sure on Friday, so he asked Ovechkin when the situation arrived, thinking that no one would blame him if he wanted the opportunity to consider he was at home, he had dozens of family members in the building, and that could have finished a hat trick.

“I just wanted to confirm and make sure he didn’t want to go out,” said Carbery. “It’s difficult because for us as trainers, I just want to make sure that, are you sure right now, you know, hat trick, at home, and he didn’t want to go out and score on an empty net to break the record.”
