Some things are bigger than hockey. Before the start of tonights Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals game, Alex Ovechkin came up to Kris Letang during warmups in a nice moment. Letang has had a rough stretch lately suffering his 2nd stroke in his NHL career, coming back just to get injured meanwhile his father unfortunately passed away. So to see two bitter rivals of teams show this kind of compassion, is just great and you absolutely love to see it. The game was a great one that saw Ovechkin score the one timer in the fashion we’ve seen so many times. Plenty of action both ways but it led to a shootout. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey highlights video!

Very cool moment Ovi
Class act
Mac Miller woulda been rooting for the Pens. Time to get a pens jersey
Half of my home's value is due to being about a dozen miles from where Ovechkin plays NHL home games.
As disappointed as I was when the Oilers were eliminated in 2017, I was happy to see Ovechkin finally get to hoist a Cup.
Why is letang having so many strokes
Are these athletes getting strokes from the vax?
I'll always be a Crosby guy but I respect ovie. It's just Crosbys won a few cups single handedly got us the gold medal against a red hot Andrew Miller, Crosby is right there beside Howe and Gretzky for how important they are to their team.
But props to ovies goals
Ovi is a certified OG and hockey legend
Does that erase the fact that he supports putin?
As a pens fan I really do like Ovi
Capitals are better
The thing that sticks in my mind is Letaing skating the width of the ice to try to take the much smaller
Artemi Panarin's head off after Panarin had single handedly beat Pittsburgh in back to back games.
This was in The last 30 seconds of the game.
Yeah, that's my memory of Chris Letaing.
Ovi's goal to assist ratio is something. Pure finisher.
Man I love seeing stuff like that shows me that they’re still great people in this world❤💯💯💯💯
Class act
Canes fan here. Huge shout out to Letang and the entire Pens organization for the quick recovery!
As for Ovi… I've always thought he was a cool ass dude! Speaking of which, CAPS FANS… the stadium series game is just a few weeks away now!… How many of you are coming here to NC to join us!? It's always a fun time bantering back and forth with you Caps fans!
ага, а потом уебал его на 12 секунде так что коньки выше головы :))))
Correction @1:55…You said that the penguin's goalie should have had that shot. It was redirected off a slap shop by a penguins player..You just didn't see it.. I don't know if you were a goalie but sometimes those tips far away are just as tough as up close..I'm a Bostonian and life-long Bruins fan.I know defending a goalie from one of the more hated adversaries is unusual, but I always come to the defense of goalies if justified…
Ovie is good guy after he resigns from being Putins toyboy.
1:54 that was deflected plain as day, why should Desmith have had that?
Stop it! You're making it harder for me to hate Ovechkin!!! Things like this (and many others) make me want to like him. Truly a talented player….and a classy guy (not as classy as Bergy, tho)
What’s up with young people have strokes these days?
go Caps!
I didn’t think Russians had feelings lol
I miss the days when teams hated each other and we had rivalries, feminist nhl is lame
Kris Letang's career is tragic, although amazing.
First he lost his closest friend, Luc Bourdon, when he barely had his place in the NHL cemented.
Then his 1st stroke. Following years with injuries. Then his second stroke and lower body injury. And the death of his father.
He is indeed persistant at least. He still goes on.
Ovi loves Putin 🤡
Not a Caps fan but I liked Mike Gartner. Great classy move by Ovie, Ovie is such a fun player to watch. .
This is what I love about hockey… class all around by most canvases
Class act by ovi.
I love hockey!
Ovie laziest record breaker ever
That’s why he represented the NHL in China, not because he is the best
No Matter if you like him or not this man is a class act 👏 👌
That’s the story of Pgh’s season this year. Oh so close but yet so far away.
Hockey is not just a game.
Many hockey player on an ice enemies, but in real life their are good friends.
Ovi is one of thousands hockey players who will do the same.
Yeah Ovi's just wonderful supporting Putin's political agenda.
Screw his fake civility towards Letang too. Ovi and his teammates, especially Oshie, have spent their careers trying to maim Letang on the ice.
There's a difference between trying to beat somebody, and trying to hurt somebody. And that whole organIzation is guilty of the latter in regards to #58.
Sure, Ovechkin cares about his millionaire friends in NA. Those suffering Ukrainians dying because of his best friends genocidal war though… doesn't give 2 shits about them.
So no, he's not a good guy.
