“I think the attitude towards Crosby in America is worse than towards Ovechkin in Russia” – Sushinsky

Former Avangard President Maxim Sushinsky commented on a statement by American journalist Josh Yohe, who previously said that Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin would not be able to match Pittsburgh’s forward Sidney Crosby, even if he surpassed Wayne Gretzky’s record for goals in the NHL.
“I don’t know who that is. Sports journalist? Ovechkin proved everything to everyone, he doesn’t have to do anything. Yohe, let him keep his opinion to himself. Maybe it’s harsh, but it’s true. For us, Ovechkin will be a legend for those who follow hockey and understand something in this sport.
I think the attitude towards Crosby in America is worse than towards Ovechkin in Russia. Crosby is deprived of the fact that he is popular in one country, and Alexander is known everywhere. And I think Ovechkin has more fans.
We hope Sasha will beat Gretzky’s record. He has every chance, and whether he can do it – we’ll see, – quotes the words of Sushinsky Sport24.

I have been working as a sports journalist for about 6 years now. I currently work as an author at Sportish, which is a sports news website. I mainly cover sports news and I love writing about all aspects of the sport. I also have experience working as a broadcast journalist, so I have some great insights into how sport is reported and presented.
