Seriously? how is that being a cry baby. I wouldn't ever want a camera being shoved in my face win or lose, that's just classless by the reporter or whoever was holding the camera in his face.

And how is that being a cry baby? He just shoved the camera out of his face, he didn't go to an official and ask for hats to be taken off the ice, or take a dive at center ice when he was nudged on a face off, and act like he was shot.

I agree. OV is a intense player and he was mad they lost like they did. Give the guy a break. Did anyone hear the guy on the post game show say they played ERO trash hockey? That is a lot worse than what OV did.

Russian's take great pride in their country. To lose like they did to Canada must of really stung.
Also he was on the phone. I wouldn't want a camera in my face while I'm talking to someone on the phone.

Shoved in his face??? The cameraman was standing there as Ovechkin approached HIM. You are a superstar hockey player, people are going to take your picture and record you, get over it.

Yes, how do you think they camera got like a foot away from his face?

And I don't care if that was Crosby either. When you're on the phone, after a huge loss and someone is trying to stick a camera in you're face what are you going to do? smile and wave. No, the guys lucky he didn't kick the **** out of him.

And other people are agreeing with me, so it's not just me

Guess, what! Ovachicken is a super star, a public figure people are gonna take his picture, ask for interviews. he'll be lucky if the person holding the camera doesn't file charges. If he didn't want attention he should have took up working @ Mcdonalds instead of hockey.

The Guy holding the Camera was standing there filming, Ovachicken and his crew walked past him and grabbed his Camera, the guy holding the Camera didn't walk up to Ovachicken, he's just acting like a brat thats all.

wow, you're real mature. calling him Ovachicken. And of course he's a super star. People will take his picture, people will want his autograph, people we want to talk to him. But the guy just lost a huge game, he was talking on his phone, he obviously didn't want to be bothered but one retard had to be stupid and shove a camera in his face, you think any other player wouldn't of reacted the same way. What the hell do you think Avery would have done?

don't post if you're just going to make fun of players you don't like, because if that was Crosby you would be backing him all day.

so the reason your defending ovechkin is because he is a player you like, and not because of his supposed justified actions, and if it was crosby or another star player you would be lambasting them, im a penguins fan and i agree that crosby can be at times a whiner, and that ovechkin or 'the great ape' as i like to call him can be arrogant and sulky, the main issue here is that the guy, when it was clear the russians werent going to win, threw a hissy fit and couldnt play due to an 'injury' that miraculously healed when the russians got a powerplay.

Maybe its because i dislike ovechkin after his hit on gonchar and that he is probably the best player in the league in terms of player prescence, but to me he will always fall in to that category along with mike richards and jeff carter of players i cant stand.

Please read my previous posts before you try and rip me. I clearly stated that if it were crosby i would be taking his side aswell. Badat is just a Crosby supporter and an Ovechkin hater, so I just said what he would do.

And I hardly call getting hit in the hand with a puck a "hissy fit" and if you watched the rest of the game, he came back like 3 minutes later, and played moer than just the power play. He's a competitor, just like guys like Crosby.

And I can't blame you for being a Pens fan and hating Ovechkin, he's a rival I understand that. But again, I said i'd protect Crosby if this happened to him in a previous post, so please don't lambaste me because I'm a Caps fan

yeah maybe i was too harsh, but i do see ovechkin as a player who seems at times to lack heart, and when he gets frustrated, do silly things, punching a camera and dirty plays (whether intentional or unintentional), i would probably add kovalchuk and malkin in that group as well, which at best can be seen as competitve and at worst childish and unsporting, obviously as a caps fan you probably know which side of this ovy falls on better than i do, ill admit i only watch wasington on center ice when either the penguins or an atlantic division game isnt on, and as a pens fan my view will differ, ill assume he is a overhyped matt cooke style player (who i love btw, like colby armstrong before him) as most of the 'bad' ovechkin stuff i see is only via youtube.

I would never say he lacks heart. and if his cheap plays are intentional or not. They happen because, A. he skates wide, and B. he's extremely physical. He never does stupid things when games matter. he's very smart about that stuff. And I also love Cooke from his short stint in Washington, gritty player who's not afraid to get involved, but like Ovechkin gets himself in sticky situations because of his physicality

agreed that ovechkin never lacks heart when theres a chance of victory, the 7 game series between us last year showed, which is my favourite seies of stanley cup playoff hockey, was just a shame it couldnt be the eastern conference final, maybe this year, hey, and yeah cookie is one of the unheralded players in pittsburgh along with mike rupp in my opinion who have brought great depth and mean we dont have to play godard every time things could get nasty.

Nice to talk to a caps fan who doesnt bring out the crosby sucks argument too....

Even as a Caps fan, that was one of the greatest series I've ever seen. And Rupp has had a tremendous year for you guys.

And yeah, don't worry. I'm not a big fan of Crosby, but he's a top talent in the league. I do hate when people say either one of them sucks. just ignorant people. But hey man, stay active on this site. We need more people on here like you. even if you are a Pens fan:cheeky4:
