Ovi scores the go ahead goal, Russia wins 4:1.
From IIHF site:
Ovechkin is enjoying being reunited Sergei Fedorov, who was his teammate in Washington and also at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
"Alex (Semin) and I played with him in Washington and he is like a father to us," a relaxed sounding Ovechkin said after the game.

“He’s amazing. There aren’t enough words in English or Russian to describe him.”
~Chris Drury
"He's like the shark in Jaws, circling in the water waiting for blood. They should play that music from the movie – da-duh, da-duh, da-duh - when he's out on a shift. He doesn't just go after loose pucks, he hunts them down."
~John Davidson, President of Hockey Operations for the St. Louis Blues.
Keep the faith, TJ, and keep up the good work.
Thank you, Alex Ovetjkin, for killing this ridiculous storyline with this post.

Blog o Alexovi, psaný anglicky, je vážně kvalitní a aktuální
Just wanted to thank you for posting my book on your blog, which I consulted a fair bit while researching and writing the book. In particular, the comprehensive list of links on alexovetjkin.blogspot.com is the best library on Ovechkin material available anywhere.

Thanks for the video and updates. I can't watch the games live on TV or with streaming video so your site is a Godsend to me. After the Caps ouster from the playoffs, I'm desperate for the Caps/Ovie fix I'd become accustomed to.
Were any more prizes/awards given out after this win? Ovie got a Rolex as Player of the Game in the victory over Slovakia.
@BobbyG:
After the Caps got ousted form the playoffs, I'm still periodically checking on the Canadiens, just to see if they can make it past the Pens. I would like to see the Habs win it, since it's been more than a decade when it was last won by a Canadian team. At least let something good/memorable come out of something that made me unhappy.
But back to the video, is it me or did Ovechkin look less enthusiastic about shooting a goal than he usually does?
Kovalchuk was first star, I don't know if he got anything or not.
Ovi scored against a low rank team, not much to be excited.

Thanks!
Game 1: After an impressive opening game in the famous Veltins Arena "Auf Schalke" in Gelsenkirchen with a new world record of more than 77.000 spectators, the best players of the winning German team and of last year's world champion, USA, got special Tissot watches, engraved with the words "best player awards", for their grand efforts during this opening game.
