I've done it 5 times
Ovechkin received a sweater with a sign "I've done it 5 times"
Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin has won the Kharlamov Trophy, the award presented to the best NHL Russian hockey player, for the fifth time. On this occasion he was handed a T-shirt with a sign "I've done it 5 times!" (Я сделал это 5 раз!).
"It is very nice to receive this award again, I am especially flattered that I received these votes from my fellow countrymen who play in the NHL," quotes Ovechkin Sportbox.ru correspondent Ekaterina Baleva. "I'll try to receive it for the sixth time. Alas, this season was not very good, the national team lost at the Olympics and at the world championship, and Washington Capitals have failed in the Stanley Cup playtoffs. I think we ran out of luck, it was possible to beat Canadians at the Games. But the season before was a Russian one, and every year is different.
Tatiana Ovechkina, who was also present at the ceremony, said that she hoped that her son would resemble the great Soviet player Valery Kharlamov a bit, in whose honor this award was named.
Ovechkin was asked about Maxime Talbot incident in this video and this is what he said:
There's no need to answer to it. Every person has the right to say something. The ice will show it all.
«Отвечать ничего не надо. Каждый человек может говорить все, что хочет. Лед все покажет»
See you on the ice, Maxipad...

Now that's a quote you can take to the bank. Gotta LOVE Ovi.
I knew he would stay classy and not give some stupid retort. Other players should take note.
"maxipad" haha!
Yes, Ovie always deals smartly with the media.
So I watched the entire 10 minute video just to see Ovie. I'd love to get a translation of more of it TJ.
Nicely done Ovie, now Talbot looks like the douche.
AB,
I will... I just don't have time right now. If the visitors would donate 1 cent, I would have enough to make this my daily job, but unfortunately they don't :-)
The organizers certainly have fun with the shirts they present to Ovie - the Superman 8 and now this one.
I also love how Ovie deals with the media and their stupid/invasive questions. Classy and with humor all the way. Although, let's be realistic, Ovie must have done IT more than five times LOL!
@TJ: I promise to donate when I'm financially able. I know I've said this before, but believe me, things are still pretty rough. I don't believe in a free ride, and I don't want you to consider me a deadbeat visitor. I'll try my best to help out. This site means too much to me as it is.
I'm back...AGAIN. I don't know if anyone is aware of this site, but there's lots of great Ovie pics here, including the Kharlamov ceremony. Enjoy! http://ovechkin.tumblr.com/
