Mama Ovechkin: “Gleason Needs to Get Himself a Pair of Glasses”

[This afternoon] Sovietsky Sport correspondent Pavel Lysenkov spoke by telephone with Alex Ovechkin‘s mother, Tatiana Ovechkina, who was in Moscow.

“That defenseman Gleason should wear glasses when he’s out on the ice!” said mama Ovechkin indignantly. “So he can see what’s happening on the ice and have time to coordinate his moves. He even came back and played the rest of the game, and here Sasha could have been seriously injured.”

“This is how I saw it: The defenseman got the puck, and Sasha went towards him to try and force a turnover. At that moment another Carolina player skated by him and blocked his view…”

“Again, Gleason should get him some rose or dark colored glasses. Or contact lenses. He shouldn’t be staring at the ice, looking at the color of his laces or the puck. You can’t play like that! A hockey player has to keep his head up! And my son was out the rest of the game…”

Like in the Buffalo game. That was also a crazy situation, and Kaleta didn’t even get injured.

“They’re all alive and healthy, and Sasha is expelled. Is that fair?”

Was Alexander seriously injured?

“I’m not going to talk about it. Ask him about it.”

Is there a risk that he’ll miss the Olympics?

“I don’t think so. Knock on wood.”
