The US-Canada showdown is what the beloved NHL lacked at the start of the coronavirus era. With the return of the classic league format, the mad battles between teams from the United States and Canada have returned all over the place. Until recently, the Washington Capitals with the Calgary Flames and the New York Rangers with the Ottawa Senators put on a real show, but today the Capital and the Senators continued the banquet. Oshie and Drake Butterson, a spectacular “Ottawa” return with a score of 1: 4 and a scuffle between Brady Tkachuk and Tom Wilson, who ended the game ahead of schedule with a huge disciplinary penalty. There are more than enough plots! But even in this context, one person stood out in a special way.Of course, we are talking about Alexander Ovechkin. The Russian leader of the Capitals is in phenomenal shape: he has now achieved a double. Before Brett Hull he has only four goals left, in Jaromir Jagr – 29. If Ovi continues to shoot in doubles, then 79 games will be enough for him to break Wayne Gretzky’s eternal record again. … In the 37th minute, with the score of 4: 4, he again pushed his “Capitals” forward, deftly achieving a one-on-one outing with the goalkeeper. By the way, Philip Gustavsson became the 149th goalie in the NHL, which was destined to make it to a Russian sniper. Well, Ovechkin’s second goal in the game looks like most pucks. abandoned by the Russian: receiving a projectile in his home office and a striking shot at the opponent’s goal. Gustavsson could only take it for granted, but Ovechkin’s fine performance was overshadowed by one episode – although not completely, but noticeably. Before his 736th NHL goal, the captain’s captain did something mean to Senators forward Nick Paul. Literally moments before the goal was scored, the Russian slammed the Canadian aside. The ground, hitting his head against the fence, even got lost in space for a while. Often, such collisions result in a concussion. This is why judges usually punish violators with a small fine. This did not affect Ovechkin. Fans on social media have drawn attention to the fact that the Russian captain of “Washington” is not the first time to get away with such tricks. Some even suggest that the league almost deliberately forgives Alexander for his brutal play and protects him from serious penalties – including disqualifications. Allegedly for a single goal called “the Gretzky record”. We continue to follow the Russian sniper scoring extravagance. It may take him less time to achieve his historic achievement than one might expect.

“Disqualify him! Ovechkin almost nailed an opponent before a goal

The US-Canada showdown is what the beloved NHL lacked at the start of the coronavirus era. With the return of the classic league format, the mad battles between teams from the United States and Canada have returned all over the place. Until recently the Washington Capitals with the Calgary Flames and the New York Rangers with the Ottawa Senators put on a real show, today the Capital and Senators continued the banquet.

Spectators at the “Canadian Tire Center” arena in Canada’s capital saw with their own eyes 12 goals, hat tricks from TJ Oshie and Drake Butterson, a spectacular comeback from “Ottawa” with a score of 1: 4 and a fight between Brady Tkachuk and Tom Wilson, who ended a game earlier than expected with a huge disciplinary penalty. There are more than enough plots! But even in this context, one person stood out in a special way.

Episode of the Ottawa Senators - Washington Capitals - RIA Novosti game, 1920, 10/26/2021

Ovechkin’s brace helped Washington defeat Ottawa

Of course, we are talking about Alexander Ovechkin. The Russian leader of the Capitals is in phenomenal shape: he has now achieved a double. Before Brett Hull he has just four goals, against Jaromir Jagr – 29. If Ovi continues to shoot in doubles, then 79 games will be enough for him to break Wayne Gretzky’s eternal record again.

A little bit about how Alexander scored. In the 37th minute, with the score of 4: 4, he again pushed his “Capitals” forward, deftly achieving a one-on-one outing with the goalkeeper. By the way, Philip Gustavsson became the 149th NHL goalie, which was destined to surrender to a Russian sniper.

Well, Ovechkin’s second goal in the game is like most pucks the Russian dropped: receiving a shell in his already home office and a smashing shot into the opponent’s goal. Gustavsson could only take it for granted.

But Ovechkin’s fine performance was overshadowed by one episode – though not completely, but noticeably. Before his 736th NHL goal, the captain’s captain did something mean to Senators forward Nick Paul. Literally moments before the goal was scored, the Russian slammed the Canadian aside. The ground, banging its head against the fence, even got lost in space for a while. Often, such collisions result in a concussion. This is why judges usually punish violators with a small fine. It didn’t affect Ovechkin.

Fans on social media have noticed that the Russian captain of “Washington” is not the first time to get away with such tricks. Some even suggest that the league almost deliberately forgives Alexander for his brutal play and protects him from serious penalties – including disqualifications. Allegedly for a single purpose called “the Gretzky dossier”.

  • “Hey, NHL player safety, do you think that’s normal? Just because it’s Ovechkin?” – follower @EastCoastSen was surprised on Twitter.

  • “That should be a big fine and a disqualification. But no, he’s a star,” Senator fan @ colewestwell26 said.

  • “The NHL protects its superstars. They can’t do anything wrong, yeah,” @ G0SensG07 added.

  • “It’s amazing that no retaliation follows,” @CrayJeff said.

  • “Crazy. The NHL should revisit this episode for Ovechkin’s disqualification,” @ kellr2010 wrote.

  • “And after that he scored. Shit …”, – @SaulteauxWolf_ was angry.

  • “The NHL is just trying to help Ovechkin break the record,” @hammslicer said.

However, this is all guesswork, complemented by disappointment with the outcome. We continue to follow the Russian sniper scoring extravagance. It may take him less time to achieve his historic achievement than one might expect.
