Five Minutes of Frustration: Sorokin Reflects on Ovechkins Record Celebration

The goalie for the New York Islanders, **Ilya Sorokin**, shared his thoughts on the prolonged celebration of the goal-scoring record set by **Alexander Ovechkin** of the Washington Capitals during their match.

**“Everyone celebrated the goal, and there was a long break. Was it tough to get back into the game?”**
**“Yeah, that was definitely a moment. I read somewhere that initially, there was a limit on the celebration time, either 8 or 14 minutes. When it all happened, it felt quite strange. The first five minutes were filled with frustration, but then it was forgotten. We stood around for 10 minutes, then 20, and I turned to Romanov and said, ‘Sanya, how do we continue playing now?’ (He smiles.) In the end, I think it lasted about 25 minutes. The score was 2-1, and there was still half the game left. So, I just went to warm up,” Sorokin said during the broadcast of «Slippery Ice.»**
