H/t to @plysenkov


Russian web site interfax.ru confirmes Ovechkin's Gordie Howe hat-trick:

Hockey players pleased the audience with colorful skirmish between Ovechkin and Trunev. Moreover, Alexander the Great, after serving two minutes, came back on ice and immediately got into a dispute with Guskov. The latter was not going to fight, but Ovechkin was unstoppable, he punched Guskov and went back to the penalty box.

Dynamo is now travelling to Nizhny Novgorod, where Ovechkin will meet another former Washington teammate Alexander Semin, who plays for Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo.

Овечкин: C локтя мне ударили в голову. Я сказал: давай драться. Мне отказали. Считаю, что некрасиво получилось. Хорошо, обошлось без травмы.

Ovechkin: I got elbowed in the head. I said, let's fight. I was refused. I think that turned ugly. Well, at least there were no injuries.
