Crossroads said:I hope he does do it so Canada could try to set him straight.
Boucicaut said:I hope he doesn't, because he'd end up looking like an idiot and some of retaliating Canadians would end up looking like bloodthirsty Neanderthals.
Crossroads said:The bottom line is that if he hopes to play in the NHL he cannot continue this. NHL teams will not tolerate embarassment. His attitude needs MAJOR readjustment before he steps into the NHL for his own sake...
Levitate said:but christ...that honestly sounds like something a 5 year old would do...sorry ovechkin, you're not cool doing that...
ease off...you're out of this tourney for all intents and purposes.We are cutting off at the pass the crap they pulled with you guys last game and which you and your fans did'nt like.Reilly311 said:lol, Canada is whining.
crossxcheck said:Please, any Russian posters don't be mad at me, but all of the Russians I have ever met were rude by our western standards. Regardless, maybe the kid doesn't even know he's being a jackass. We north americans do have different standards than they do. Someone just needs to tell him to calm down and that his behavior is not acceptable on north american ice. This is only a guess.

This is only a stab at an explanation.

crossxcheck said:I think you failed to see my point. I said they were rude by our standards. Doesn't make them terrible people. Geez. My overall point is that maybe, due to different standards, that he doesn't even realize what he's doing is wrong.

It may seem ridiculous, but there is a reason that teams are assigned a side of the rink to warm up on before games (think back to Quebec/Montréal brawls or Philly/Montréal brawls). The WJC officials should have a chat with Ovechkin and make it clear that he stays on his side of centre.
