Haha... good stuff. You'd never see Crosby do that!

who cares wether Crosby would do that or not? does that matter?

Ovechkin is a better player than Crosby, regardless of their personalities.

Look, I'm not going to get into this because I just don't care. Crosby helped lead Canada to pummeling the Russians. This is enough for me for that one game.

So did Morrow. Doesn't make him better than Ovechkin.

To be fair to Ovie, he really hates losing, and if I can recall correctly, he once shuttled a cell phone across the room in the Caps dressing room after a losing streak a few years back (before they were the powerhouse that they were now). There is tremendous pressure on all these athletes, especially in Europe, since it's their version of the Stanley Cup.

I can recall some Swedish newspapers suggesting that Tommy Salo never return to Sweden if he were smart, after the fluke goal vs Belarus in 2002. Remember, these are pro athletes, not community leaders. Sure Ovi was pissed, but when you compare this to the actions of Michael Vick, Tiger Woods, and even Theo Fleury in the past, it's really tame, considering Russia was just knocked out of the Medal race.

One other thing, where was this video taken. I have my doubts it was taken last night given the russian signage on the window behind him.

Also have the Russians been wearing sochi gear at the Olympics in vancouver? Seems fairly low brow if true.

Quit making arguments you can't back up.

Sort of understandable, actually. Creepy people should stop shoving cameras in their faces without permission.

Crosby has outplayed Ovechkin badly in EVERY SINGLE elimination game the 2 have EVER played against each other....and there are many games to choose from...going back to WJC.
Sidenote...did Ovi forget how to speak English between his pregame and postgame interview?

That is the current Russian Olympic gear. Their Russian house here is called "Sochi House" and my guess is they're in there.

It's at the Winter Olympics. I am sure about an umpteen number of fans have cameras there taking pictures of all the athletes.

It is probably fairly simple. He is probably pissed that he lost and didn't want to deal with fans. He was simply pissed.

Nobody can argue he has talent, but that was a mistake on his part. He isn't perfect but neither is anyone else.

It seems that in the big games he doesn't show up like he should, and I think he was simply pissed and did something stupid that he probably wouldn't have done normally.

I am thankful that Crosby represents Canada with heart and guts when everything is on the line. I admire that about him. I am also thankful that Ovie doesn't represent Canada, at least when he did something like that. That is just not professional.

Oh and GO CANADA!

Unclassy move by the "fan" to stick a camera in his face. I find that disrespectful.
