Beater of Insolent Rookie Ass. Since we're sharing Ovechkin memories, here's my favorite. Ovechkin was already a legend in 2019 and a future HOFer and people knew the career goals record was on the table. He's not a fighter at all. He hadn't fought since 2010. Then this insolent ROOKIE starts slashing him and drops the gloves. Ovechkin honestly looks BAFFLED. (i) Who is this kid? (ii) Why is he trying to fight me? (iii) Does he not know who I am? Ovechkin knocked him the f*ck out. He missed the next four games. All hail the greatest goal scorer and Beater of Insolent Rookie Ass of all time.

The announcer in the video needs to call his tits! He didn't "slam his head into the ice"....you can even tell Ovie is trying to keep him up. Russian machine never break!!!

Game 3 of the playoffs. Ovechkin had been using his size to push him around the 1st 2 games and the kid had enough. Caps won the 1st 2 games, then Carolina came back and won the series without Svechnikov. Playoff hockey is a different sport from the regular season

It's weird we have this one sport besides MMA and boxing where you are randomly allowed to fuck a guy up and everybody acts like it's normal.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was something that I never expected, but had the outcome that I completely expected. I remember pleading with the kid over the TV “please stop please stop you’re going to get killed”

My wife respects his play but he's the enemy and she refers to him as Oven Chicken

I mean… sometimes you gotta put these whipper-snappers & honyawks in their place. The ice is no place to be horsin’ off with a legend.

This was wild. I remember being super nervous Ovi was going to get caught and knocked out by a rookie, and we wouldn’t hear the end of it.

Are you a fan of the Caps because you’re way off. Ovi was completely out of line here and this fight ruined our Stanley Cup chances.

French writer Astolphe de Custine, who I am sure every American has read, might say a few words on the topic.

All this to never beat him in a playoff series, represents his career of underachieving well.

There’s something about fellow Russians that gets under the skin of otherwise unflappable Russian players. Remember when Malkin got into it with Kuznetsov because Kuzy “spoke Russian” to him? I’m guessing Kuzy had a few choice words that don’t exist in English.

The bizarre thing about this is that Svechnikov should have known that Ovi is just a bear of a guy, very strong. There’s no way he didn’t watch a bunch of young-Ovi highlights as a kid. Speaking of which, youtu.be/sa_PRrS5yxA?is=YPiU…

I'll never forget Pussy Pierre Mcguire freaking out in between the glass with, "HE'S KNOCKED OUT THIS IS AWFUL! HE NEEDS HELP!" Calm down guy, people get KO'd. He was acting like he got thrown from the top of Hell in a Cell.

I watched this live. Svechnikov was out before he even hit the ice. What a horrible decision.
