I had chills, says MARTIN FEHÉRVÁRY, who joined the Washington Capitals after more than a year
Playing in the NHL and being a stable member of the profiligy team makes a huge difference. Hockey players are always eagerly waiting for the news of whether to look for an apartment in the city.

“Before the opening match against the New York Rangers Martin, the management of the Capitals announced that he was looking for housing in Washington, as coach Peter Laviolette was counting on him permanently.

The opening duel belonged to the biggest star of the Capitals. Alex Ovechkin did not know until the last moment whether he would start due to health problems. In the end, he skated on the ice and even at the age of 36 he indicated that Wayne Gretzki’s NHL goal record was 100% in his head. He directed a clear 5: 1 win with two goals and two assists. He reached his 500th point in the power play and in the historical shooting tables he moved with 732 goals to fifth place in front of Marcel Dionn. Gretzky’s absolute record lacks a 36-year-old Russian legend with 162 accurate hits.
„I already knew at your seventh goal that you would beat me. But the most important thing is respect. You got it, you’re a born shooter. It’s amazing. Wayne was a different league, but you have a chance. “ Dionne, 70, sent Ovechkin via video today.
“It’s special to be Alex’s teammate as he breaks the record of one legendary shooter after another. We joke that I’m going to talk to my grandchildren like I played with an amazing eight, but it’s all true. “ TJ Oshie forward for nhl.com.
The Russian gunner may reach third place at the end of the season. He needs 37 goals for Jaromír Jágr. “It was amazing to play again in front of a sold-out point of view,” said Ovechkin, with whom he interviewed the legendary Gretzka. The Great One returned to television as an analyst.
“The league has changed, accelerated. I had to adapt to still be able to score goals and be valid for the Capitals, “ the attacker continued.
Attention was paid during the first win of the season to Ovečkin, the teenager Hendrix Lapierr, who scored a goal in his first match in the NHL, or Vítek Vaněček. The Czech goalkeeper covered 23 shots and scored the win.

However, praise also went to Martin Fehérváry. Twenty-two-year-old bek played reliably. He made no mistakes and skated for almost eighteen minutes. He looked like an NHL defender on the ice, playing in the competition for over a year.
“I was satisfied, I played well. I was a little stressed at first, but then it subsided. I really enjoyed the duel. As we boarded, I had chills. After all, my dream came true when I was a member of the opening line-up of the Washington Capitals this season, ” Fehérváry told us.
„He was in the shadow of several positive things from the Capitals hockey players, but he played a very solid match, “ nhl.com journalist Tom Gulitti wrote. Fans on social networks also spoke positively about the renewed premiere of the Bratislava native.
Fehérváry peeked into the world’s best hockey league for the first time last season. He skated eight games and didn’t get lost in the “bubble” playoffs. The next year, however, he had to wait all over again on the farm. He showed in the pre-season camp that he was perfectly prepared. The proof was also the internal award for the best defender in the team, which he received.
“Martin is a great skater. He just needs to gain experience and self-confidence, “ said the talented defender Zdeno Chara, who could have observed him last year when they were teammates in the organization.
