And two idiot referees who watched the play didn’t even think it was a 2 minute penalty. The NHL has an officiating problem between stuff like this and all the game management bull####!!

Ovi says 7 games for the hit is a joke. There wasn't a penalty and he thinks it shouldn't be a suspension either.
Lol I guess you have to say crap like that when its someone on your team but it sure would be great if a player called out a teammate for crap like that.

I mean, the guy openly supports Putin so it makes sense.

Ovi just got fined for spearing a dude in the junk. Not like he's a Lady Byng candidate either. lol
At 5 suspensions, at some point the league has to say that's enough you are banned
Agree - and for each of those suspensions, one could probably find several hits that were worthy of suspensions or fines. He’s a predator and the league would be better off without him.

I don’t think that’s a fair criticism to make of a guy.
Look at Panarin. Unfortunately there’s serious consequences to opposing Putin publicly. His families well being would likely be at risk if he were to come out against him.
I take any positive thing any Russian says about Putin with a huge grain of salt. Huge.

As has been previously discussed though, Ovechkin is a special case. He isn't just supportive of Putin, they're actually reasonably close. It's clearly not something he's doing because he thinks he has to - he is a genuine, fervent Putin supporter.

Wilson isn't just a predator....he's an entitled POS that behaves as though the refs owe him because he's somehow special .
Oh your special Tommy...and one day you Will hit thr wrong guy and your career will be over.
Your worse than Cooke, Marchand and or any other example of a guy who has been given way way way too many chances to continue in the league.
I don't understand for one minute how this guy is in the league anymore.
Nothing deters him from being a POS . Fines, suspensions just don't get his attention. There's no way he should get to come back after this last incident.
When he hits a superstar in this league and injures them costing said team X number of games , thr playoffs , their season and the NHL does another about face I hope someone gets sued.

Man... I didn't know this and I follow politics almost religiously.. damn what a shame.. ... Do not respect him much of any now..

Not making excuses, but Ovechkin is a Moscow guy. His family, for generations, probably understood that the more you suck up to the big boss, the better for the family. You try to stand up to the big boss, you accidentally fall out of a window.
Ovi just strikes me as the kind of guy who probably doesn't give a #### about politics, but his people tell him to enthusiastically support him while he's in America, so he does. Or more sinister, the government itself is exerting pressure on him.
I have never hidden my attitude towards our president, always openly supporting him. I am confident that there are many of us, supporting Vladimir Putin. So let's unite and show everyone a united and strong Russia!
I agree that he probably doesn't care much about politics, but it's more than just sucking up. He's the Russian equivalent of a fervent Trumpist. I suspect he just thinks it's the right thing to do as a good patriotic Russian to be on the same side as the leader of your county. Also probably thinks it's kind of cool that he gets to be so buddy buddy with the most powerful man in his country. But it's pretty clear that he's genuine in his support.
