Head coach Znarok: It's "team first" for Ovechkin
Great Pavel LYsenkov of Sovetsky Sport had an interview with Dynamo's head coach Oleg Znarok. Here's the excerpt from the interview published January 12, 2013.
Why Ilya Kovalchuk is still playing for SKA, and Ovechkin flew to Washington on the first flight?
Sasha had an injury, he missed the last game due to a bruised ribs. Then the Capitals called and he was obliged to go. He in fact has the contract in the NHL.
I don't know what the situation is with Ilya. Maybe his contract is different... Sasha could play with Ufa and Nizhnekamsk. And Leo Komarov too. But we have no hard feelings. The guys helped us a whole lot.
With Leo Komarov it's all clear, but Sashka Ovechkin? I was surprised how much he is a team player. It was a feast for the eyes!
There was a rumor that in the national team Vyacheslav Bykov had problems with Ovechkin...
You have to be an insider to know what's going on. But this is all speculation, rumors. I know Vyacheslav Arkadievich for a long time. He is a great person. And don't think he had any problems with Sasha.

Who is Vyacheslav >>Abramovich<< ? ))
Vyacheslav Abramovich Bykov.
Like Alexander Mikhailovich Ovechkin.
Middle name is patronymic in Russia.
Wikipedia: In East Slavic languages, the ending -ovich, -yevich, -yich is used to form patronymics for men. For example, in Russian, a man named Ivan with a father named Nikolay would be known as Ivan Nikolayevich or 'Ivan, son of Nikolay' (Nikolayevich being a patronymic). For women, the ending is -yevna, -ovna or -ichna. For masculine names ending in a vowel, such as Ilya or Foma, when they are used as a base for patronymic, the corresponding endings are -ich (for men) and -inichna (for women).
In Russia, the patronymic is an official part of the name, used in all official documents, and when addressing somebody both formally and among friends. A Russian will rarely formally address a person named Mikhail simply as 'Mikhail', but rather as 'Mikhail' followed by his patronymic (i.e. 'Mikhail Nikolayevich' or 'Mikhail Sergeyevich' etc.).
Bykov is "Arkadievich"
