Gotta See It: Ovechkin goes chopping, finds Letang’s ankle
As if Alexander Ovechkin isn’t having an interesting enough week, on Tuesday, he decided to explore his abilities as a lumberjack and two-hands his stick against Kris Letang’s ankle. Somehow, he got away with it.
Ref didnt call a penalty on that ? Beacuse the faceoff OV was going to get it. They allowed. Any team to make the next move or swing would be in the box. No questions.
It was a slash no doubt but that should have been called!? Instead refs had other ideas on rival game. You could tell they didnt want fighting to start.
игровой момент: хотел пробить по шайбе, но ее прикрыли – такое случается, в редакции походу не знают как работает мозг самого мощного снайпера в нхл, у этого парня и короткий взмах клюшки имеет приличную силу
This is where the nhl has to come in and check with the control center and have a consulting with the on ice officials like they do when a goal is missed and they stop the game. He could have ruined a guys career. As they always say they want to get it right.
It penalty. I think in situations like this judging must follow to Rules. Sport is not kind of day-to-day life where people may collide with the Court, and lawyers begin to interpret the law and how to use it in current situation in legal case. In Hockey exist Rules which players must to follow, and if they break rules – they must be penalised. Ovi’s stick chop Letang skate – it obvious and evident, if so where be a penalty. All simple, the break – the punishment. Refs need to follow Rules, no need to interpret situation. The aim of hockey Rules – to regulate the game, when refs began to interpret Rules they break it.
As I have said many time. The NHL officiating is not very good. It's hard to GUESS what penalty is anymore. That was a penalty and what did you expect Pittsburgh do?

Dirty play by ovi just cous he couldn’t beat the guy all game

For how bad the commentator is, at least he's better than Jack Edwards.
"Letang is very durable" HAHAHAHAHAHA

Alex ovie sucks he almost killed letang f**k u Alex
Must hurt, if slash hits right foot and when he is getting off the ice, left foot is on air. So Letang forgot where stick hit 🙂 typical 🐧
8 is a sack of crap. A dirty, one trick pony.
oh, I understand, blind referees are used in NHL … this has now been introduced in the DEL …
I’m glad ovi did that as a caps fan f*cl the pens
No different than Gretzky high sticking gilmore back in 1993 playoffs between L.A and Toronto.
these caps announcers suck!
Goes chopping how can you not watch
Damn that must have hurt considering how hard Ovechkin shoots
T
2 min easy lmao thats it
So its okey to smack your stick to players ankel and break it👌
cmon Letang your better than that laying on the ice crying
Alotta favouritism going on with the refs lately, I watch hockey to escape bs politics 😢
How was that not a penalty
The announcers are either blind or just intentionally don’t mention what they saw
Hey its Mike Johnston lol
Nice, even the officiating doesn't like that guy and never called a penalty for that.
NHL is the laughingstock of sports!
So sports net, why end the video when the good part starts? Duhhhhh!
thats like jack edwards level bias commentary.

A Flying penguin: Alexander Ovechkin: that was his Jose Canseco Home run derby impression! LMFAO haha 🤣🤣🤣

2023 update. Letang keeps getting smacked around these days
Tanger tough as nails…… ovi isn’t a saint but not malicious like that…. Good to see those guys still battling for the puck. #hockey #heart n soul
Is this how he lives out his fantasy of killing Ukrainians for his hero Vlad “the baby and child killer” Putin?
a piece of his leg that was a total slash
letang has had a rough career

Even 8 years later this makes Ovechkin look really bad. Reputation is everything.
Ovechkin has lost his marbles
