Obviously, guess who they want to see / get signatures from, etc.
From all accounts the guy was just a grade A Dbag, ignored all of them, barely even practiced, skated off without even acknowledging any of them and literally ignored the one kid in an Ovechkin jersey shouting his name.
Meanwhile Caps legend Nick Dowd stopped to sign every kids shirt, flipped pucks to them, stopped to chat. Same with Oshie. Meanwhile Ovechkin sounded like a complete clown loser. Makes millions of dollars to play in NHL, can’t be bothered to even look at a row of kids extremely excited to just be in your presence. Russian Marie Antoinette.

Maybe he had a bad day, or your source has a axe to grind. First time I heard of him snubbing fans, especially kids.
By all accounts, Ovi is a great person. Tons of fan interaction, tons of charitable work. It's just the pesky Putin thing that won't go away.
