The third match between “Washington” and “Florida” began with an amazing curiosity. Hit Ovi lacked power.
Washington fans see Alexander Ovechkin as a superhero. The throws of the great “eight” are almost impossible to repel, and after his strong opponents come to their senses for a long time. All this is not a myth, the Russian striker is really very effective and often terrifies opponents.
However, the odiousness of his figure has reached such proportions that every failure of Ovi is viewed under a microscope and causes a flurry of ridicule.
This also happened after Ovi’s unconvincing hit in the match with Florida. And they troll the Russian star in the case.
By the third match of the series of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, “Washington” and “Florida” came up with an equal score. Saturday’s game in the capital, if not decisive, would definitely make life easier for the winner.
The teams looked as charged as possible from the very beginning, and already in the third minute, Florida opened the scoring. Jonathan Huberdeau got the puck in the middle zone, charged into the opponent’s zone and shot great from the left faceoff circle. Russian goalkeeper Ilya Samsonov was powerless.
Fans would have no choice but to admire the skill of the Canadian, if not for one thing. Seconds before the puck was abandoned, Huberdeau was in his zone, where he was firmly pinned to the board by Alexander Ovechkin. After the power Ovi, without looking back, drove off to the opponent’s goal and did not see how the opponent instantly came to his senses behind him and rushed to someone else’s possessions alone. If Ovechkin’s hit had been more powerful and more accurate, Huberdeau probably would not have been able to participate in the goal attack.
Such a curiosity involving Ovechkin could not go unnoticed. Fans in social networks mock the Russian striker and the situation itself.
– If the judges do not punish Ovechkin for a dirty game, then the opponent will do it. Bravo, Huberdo
Where is Ovechkin’s strength? This guy not only did not fall, but also scored a goal
It’s all about how you react. Huberdo did not fall after the hit from Ovechkin, but ran and scored!
Sorry, but this is very funny. Have you seen Ovechkin’s look?
To Ovechkin’s credit, he also helped Washington rectify the situation by providing an assist at the end of the first period. And in the second, the Capitals scored two unanswered goals and finally rehabilitated their captain for a curiosity in the first period.
