– No, it’s just that when Ovechkin and Kuznetsov came to our house for dinner, Ovi asked: “What are these statues?” I replied: “Well, these are Kuzya and Ovi. Sometimes I practice on them, I throw pucks at them. But someone posted this joke on social networks, and it all started from there.
“These are actually statues of the Alien and the Predator from the movie. When we were on vacation in Dubai, I saw them in a store, I bought them and they sent them to me by mail. But I certainly didn’t give them names. They already have them – Alien and Predator,” Malkin told .
