Ovechkin spearing Frederic owned really hard.

Ovi got the superstar benefit of the doubt too. 2 minutes for a chop like that is hilarious.

Don't forget the clip where Frederic dropped the gloves and Ovi has this "I don't even know who you are" face.

Ovechkin only drops the gloves like once every 4 years or so. Last time he did, the dude got loving wrecked and laid down on the ice.

Lol they fined Ovi $5,000 for it just now. He’d probably pay $50,000 for the ability to do it again.

lol no Ovie scores way too many goals and promotes the systematic murder of way too many Ukrainians for that.

Speaking of Ovie, what's up with him this year? He's on a 30 goal pace (over 82 games). Just a slow start combined with his covid protocol thing or is he not his usual self?

The way the powerplay is being set up now is pushing down his PP goal scoring a lot. He's still heavily in the play and, weirdly, is just getting a lot of assists right now. Backstrom is the new goal scorer.

He was on Covid lockdown and wasn’t himself for a couple games after that. It’s a down year for sure but these past few games have seen a return to form despite no goals. He’s pinged the bar a couple times. Is he winning the Rocket this year? Nope. But he should overtake Phil Esposito to move into sixth on the all time list in the next month or so.

That trade makes perfect sense when you look at fit and cap hit, but in his eternal wisdom Benning structured Virtanen's contract so he's due $3.4m next year (somehow). There are ways around that given he's only subject to a 1/3 buyout, but it's a poison deal in a world where every team is penny pinching right now and the Canucks would have to throw in some sort of sweetener to get it done. Plus Aquilini would likely reject it because he'd have to shell out $800k more this year.

We live in a stupid, stupid world.

He's the successor to the Marchand pest throne. He tried to drop the gloves with Ovechkin earlier in the game and Ovi was having none of it

There was a third collision Frederic started but I couldn't find the clip. He deserved some kind of retaliation for his efforts.

Yeah, I don't blame Ovie for not wanting to have to put on with some minor leaguer's poo poo the whole game. Dude's going into the hall and you have 2 career goals, he ain't gonna drip the gloves but he very well likely will give you a stick circumcision
