Ovechkin got the stick between his legs and slammed a powerful hit … Kuznetsova! (video) – Soviet Sport

Alexander Ovechkin scored an important goal, and now only two goals behind Sergei Fedorov. But his “Washington” lost big in New York.

For this race should not even in North America.

Sergei Fedorov – 483 goals in a career in the NHL.

Alexander Ovechkin – now 481. And all the chances to become the best scorer in the history of Russian hockey overseas.

As Ovechkin himself once joked,” there is still 80 games of the season as a three will score. ”

At this time, Alexander the Great played a very good combination with Nate Schmidt. Sam picked up the puck, escaped the attack, gave a pass to a partner – and got back.

All the beautiful and the mind. Classic.

In general, it was a match of two teams from the top 10 of the championship.

And as shown by the game if “Washington” will fly again to “Rangers” in the playoffs, Ovechkin once again can go to the World Cup.

New York conceded on rolls (21-34), but that did not stop once the five “Rangers” to throw the puck, and goalie Henrik Lundqvist again stand on the ears.

By the way, King Henrik and was named first star.

– We talked a lot about what should be the correct play hockey. But now it did not happen, – said the head coach of “Washington” Barry Trotts. – In this case, after all, “Rangers” was not the right way, and our goalkeeper Holtby rescued in some moments. However, Lundqvist was better, and that was the game, which they say that he drew the goalkeeper. Henrik cleaned up, “Rangers” a lot of mistakes.

And here’s another episode, by which we can not go.

In the first period, Alexander Ovechkin I went and nobody touched. But there are a number of defender “Rangers’ Marc Staal loaded his stick between his legs.

Yes, right there.

Ovechkin fell to the ice in pain. Then he got up and went to talk to the Staal. It is strange that this has not led to the removal (which looked referees?)

Or a mass brawl (which looked partners?) Because when your captain so basely beaten with a stick in the groin, and the rest of the team turns a blind eye – it leads to limp 2: 5 at a party.

Players “Washington”! You had to stand up for Ovechkin.

Soldiers Are you? Where is your fighting spirit?

In general, it was a very chaotic match for “Washington”. In the second period, Ovechkin applied power reception against an opponent by the name of Fast. But it was … Evgeny Kuznetsov, who came in all the force of the blow. Laying in the form of Fast’s not particularly affected. But Kuzma in stunned state rose from the ice. And it was horrible, he did not get injured.

In general, this match “Washington” is forgotten as a nightmare. Absurd, but not the match.
