The Head Coach”Washington » Pierre Laviolette explained the behavior of the attacker Alexandra Ovechkina at the end of the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season game with “New York Rangers ”, in which the attacker received a disciplinary fine.
Sunday’s meeting took place in Washington and ended with the score 5:2 in favor of the guests. Late in the third period, Ovechkin repeatedly hit Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow with a stick in the back, earning him a 2-minute sending-off. A fight ensued and the judges gave Ovechkin an additional 10 penalty minutes. As he left the ice, the Russian sarcastically applauded the referees. Minutes before the incident, Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad scored the puck on the power play the team received after Washington forward Conor Sheary retired.
He is upset that we missed something. Our guys played hard and with envy…then it was over. We were almost in the minority after Shiri’s penalty, then the referee didn’t take the Rangers player off, he had a disappointment,” quotes Lavioletta hockey news .
This season, Ovechkin, 37, has 73 points (42 goals and 31 assists) in 71 games.
