The play occurred with just over five minutes remaining in Wednesday's game between the Bruins and Capitals, which ended as a 2-1 win for Washington in a shootout.
Ovechkin and Frederic engaged in a brief puck battle along the boards in the Capitals' zone. After Frederic shoved Ovechkin, Ovechkin retaliated by spearing Frederic between the legs. Both players were given minor penalties for the exchange, with Ovechkin going to the penalty box for what was called slashing and Frederic for cross-checking.
That should teach him a lesson 🙄
Let’s re-write this headline: ovi8 fined 0.05% of salary, or 50 bucks for someone making $100k/year for pitchforking someone’s dingleberries. Seems about right
Bus money
More NHL bullshit for a star. Bottom line is Ovechkin is a bitch and Frederic would have tuned him bad.
Why no suspension like Chiasson of the Oilers? Are you suggesting that spearing is way less dangerous than cross checking? Or is it that AlexOvechkin did it with love & respect .. oh & that “inclusion” thing is too? SUSPENSION!! Capitals LetsGoOilers
Money well spent given how that guy (never heard of him before now) was trying to injure him with multiple cross checks to his arms
That’s all? That is the dirtiest play in hockey!
Only mistake he made was that it was Marchand he pitch-forked in the nuts!
All others would be suspended.
But Brad Marchand get a game suspension for the same. NHL must be afraid of Putin.!
what a joke if it was a Montreal player doing it would have 20 games
No where near enough. Should have been a heavy fine and a suspension
I thought Crosby only did that.... not the great 8 (eye roll)
$2,500 per
So now it’s ok to spear someone in the Netherlands, all you get is a 2 min penalty and a 5k$ fine ? - Wow , the NHL player safety is a complete joke.
The nhl fining system is hilarious. Probably spends more on coffee this year.
Pocket change for OVE...
You mean 'complimentary cup check' by nice guy Ovi
So Frederic can say that Ovechkin needed to pay 5000 for touch in between his legs. That is some story.
Lol. Not a game? That's funny. But it's the bruins. So screw em.
Should have pinned a medal on him. Frederic is Marchand with no skills at all. Rats never pay the price
Not enough
That’s baby food
Had that it his wallet
Haha take that Frederic.
