From NHL.Com after the October 16, 2008 Pens vs Caps game..."Ovechkin had five shots but didn't get a point. He did do a lot of banging with fellow Russian Malkin, who assisted on the two goals he didn't score.
"Ovechkin is a great player, but every time he hits me — I don't know why," Malkin said when asked why Ovechkin seemed to be going out of his way to hit him. So why all the physicality?
"It's just a hockey game. I hit hard with everybody," Ovechkin said."
**BS ALERT!**
Ovie is *cleary* playing with the intent to injure Malkin. He has been for the last several games. So what gives?
Did it all start when Ovie allegedly broke the jaw of Malkin's agent (also reported here and discussed here) after said agent insulted him or -allegedly- his mother?
Some suggest the Ovie hatred escalated when Malkin "showed him up" ducked from, then shrugged off a blantant Ovie run at him at the Jan 21, 2008 game. Later in that game Ovie tried to run Malkin again only with bad results for Ovie.
While it's not clear why Ovie is headhunting Malkin, a local sports writer has noticed and agrees as I do that someone named Eric Goddard needs to put an end to it.
