Yesterday, December 9, the Board of Governors of the National Hockey League was held, the main topic on the agenda of which was the possible fall of Wayne Gretzky's sniper record and its conquest by Russian forward of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin.
The functionaries discussed a plan of action should Ovechkin set a new record for regular-season goals. The working plan would be to stop the game immediately when the new record is set, even if it is on the road, and to have a full presentation with Ovechkin, Gretzky and Bettman in honor of the event.
Also one of the points of discussion was how other television markets and national broadcasts will cover the event.
As a reminder, Ovechkin is now in the process of recovering from an injury - a fractured fibula. At the moment, the gap between Ovechkin and Gretzky is 26 pucks.
