As the NHL's Russian superstar closes in on Wayne Gretzky's goal scoring record, Glen Sather utters a feeling I suspect plenty of other Canadians share.
I've always been impressed by Ovi doing this in a lower scoring era than the high-scoring Eighties. As a Canadian, I believe the beef most Canadians have with Ovechkin is a bunch of whining fomented by the media and government over geopolitics. Sather and the people who were there with Gretzky get a pass. How can Sather not be sad? But Gretzky's points record will endure.
