Alex Ovechkin Hit Against Jordan Kyrou

[@phildan89]

Ovi is back playing like he was 5-odd years ago. What a beast

[@SharksSJ408]

I think his fathers death was weighing on him the last couple of seasons.

[@heineken4dinner]

Ovi’s gotta be one of the only players in the league that gets this pass. Once Schenn saw it was him the respect took over.

[@librarycard3748]

Schenn doesn't want any of Ovi, he'd get scorched 😅

[@papahenry744]

Nah schenn didn't want that smoke

[@waynethera2712]

Schenn also remembers Wilson is over there too.

[@papahenry744]

@waynethera2712 he also remembers when he tried to fight an old Russian, kovalchuck, and got his shit tossed

[@canadiandrumer]

it was a clean hit too, I think that was more of a reason there wasn't a huge retaliation

[@cookieomnomnom1]

Was a nice hit. Blues fan here and Ovi’s not afraid to knock someone down.

[@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU]

Notice he's been hitting more thus far this season than he has in recent years.

[@ninetysnano6071]

Ovi’s always been a monster

[@antoine7432]

Getting that last dance

[@brendan8637]

Must be enjoying hockey again

[@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU]

@@ninetysnano6071 He wasn't hitting as much when they seriously contending for the Cup.

[@johnsinglet575]

He’s third in all time hits in the NHL

[@AnthonyStorm11]

Clean hit, great hit.

[@vernieistooold]

Are we sure that Ovi isn’t age 29…. he can’t be 39 and play like this.

[@reptidan]

I gave him a hug once when he was 18. This guy is build different

[@kootybear]

He will feel in the morning

[@jjKINGMAN]

This guys aura is something else in the hockey ring.

[@CannonSteenblik]

Ominous

[@philberto53]

Good hit. Glad to see there wasn't a stupid scrum after either. Kyrou is a big boy and he popped back up no problem.

[@Timmycoo]

Yeah, knew his head was down for a moment and just got caught.

[@mikes7446]

Go watch golf

[@Ranalla651]

No he is not he’s a big baby

[@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU]

There would have been one, like seemingly every clean hit, except schenn knew he'd end up on IR for going with 8.

[@JJ............................]

Going to miss Ovi when he retires. Sucks that players like him who can hit, fight, and score are becoming more of a dying breed in favor of players like Zegras or Bedard.

[@ethanparker7900]

his generation is arguably the most taken for granted generation ever especially if it is ovi himself. People are too busy dickriding soft players like matthews, binnington and bedard guys who single handedly pussified the league and forget about previous generations and their brilliance/entertainment

[@jet67jd37]

Schenn didn’t want the smoke. Everybody remembers svechnikovs whopping

[@WhitneyNewark]

Your not familiar with Brayden schenn 😂😂😂

[@jet67jd37]

He got ragdolled and dropped by kovlachuk, ovi would blast him

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

​@@WhitneyNewarkyou must not know Ovi pal. 😂😂😂

[@janzkee]

@@WhitneyNewarkwho?💀

[@WhitneyNewark]

@@Mayor_Of_Eureka17 name someone else he fought other than svechnikov?

[@janzkee]

see how no one fought after a player got laid out? would like to see more of that in the NHL

[@matthewrich]

Same here. Play should continue after big, clean hits like this. And if you want to respond, then just hit back at another point in the game.

[@Partheseus]

Schenn would’ve fought him if it wasn’t ovechkin, i think he didn’t fight him purely out of respect

[@WTFWILLYUM]

It’s Ovechkin. No one is gonna do anything. He’s untouchable at this point in his career.

[@TheJinxCast]

Fighting is based though

[@CrazyDudeGoneWild]

It's an honour to get bulldozed by Ovi, you can see in Kyrou's face how he goes from angry "wtf?" to "ah, it was Ovi... great hit..."

[@ultimatebasses]

Clean hit, no fight. The way it should be.

[@lucasisti3505]

There’s absolutely no retaliation needed on a play like this, it was a clean hit and that’s all. Schenn would have been an idiot to do anything to Ovi after that hit

[@elemeno0pee]

Honestly, it would be an honor to take a big hit from Ovi in the same season he breaks the all-time goals record.

[@museymonkey6807]

Ive noticed it a lot with ovechkin but he give out old timey hits where you lean a bit and leave your feet a bit.

[@janzkee]

"old timey" dont you mean clean textbook hits?

[@museymonkey6807]

@janzkee He usually leans and kinda leaves his skates a bit

[@wowmoregaming4541]

@@museymonkey6807 Ive noticed it. He times it perfectly to make it look like the impact made him leave his feet.

[@mikes7446]

Way to go standing up for you teammates Schenn. Didn’t want to fight Ovi tha great.

[@KajDrav]

A good clean hit. Isn't that supposed to be followed by a fight, by today's NHL logic?

[@xsjumper3701]

the goat does it with 39 years old what a beast

[@MrCalisoca]

Schenn took a look and was like, nope!

[@gabegood8989]

credit to the Blues for not having a hissy fit over a clean hit

[@kootybear]

So tired of these dumbass hockey players wanting to retaliate on every hit thats made. Its hockey. It was a great clean hit.

[@mattsmith4589]

Jens95 I wanted to say thanks for not running up the score against my Sharks the other night 😭😂

[@brodi5367]

I'm sure Schenn being 3 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter weighed heavily into the decision to do nothing.

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

They all knew they better not try and get in his face .... All of em. Thats the shadow Ovi cast over this league

[@Dan-ce3sd]

lmfao

[@awallbroandliljamie]

I don't think the capitals are not getting away with it after tonight. Doug Armstrong needs to man up and fire Drew bannister because this is absolutely getting ridiculous and upsetting.

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

What?!

[@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU]

LOL what? I will say that Blues are getting what they deserve after that stunt with the Oilers players.
