I am well aware that there are problems in the world, but Ovi did not create them. He came here to play hockey. He’s a great teammate who loves the city and the fans.
Yes, there are tensions in the world. But we tried to support Ovechkin as best we could. He represents our team and has nothing to do with what’s going on in the world,” Laviolette said on Cam & Strick.
