Broke the ****er's hand, by the reports.Svech was aiming his chin at Ovi's knuckles to try to keep him from scoring.
I will say, for those around long enough to remember the 2009 Bruins series, Scott Walker was widely crucified for dropping Aaron Ward when both agreed to fight, but Walker was quicker on the trigger. Now that the roles are kind of reversed, its interesting to see Svechnikov now crucified for trying to pick a fight with Ovi under pretty much the exact same circumstances.
Its almost as if players who don't play for big markets aren't treated with the same respect of those who are.
Broke the ****er's hand, by the reports.
Somewhere there's a Russian chess forum where the consensus is that Svechnikov's sacrifice to effectively take out Ovechkin was a smart move, and we in the West won't ever even know that there was a Game on between two Masters.
Seriously? Ovechkin’s hand is broken?
That's not how I remember it. Ward was insistent that he never agreed to fight. Walker said he thought he was "engaged in an altercation", but never came out and said Ward said he'd go.
Here's the video:

Apparently he was holding it while in the bench. I... may have jumped into conclusions.Seriously? Ovechkin’s hand is broken?

Some evidence that he may have some issues is that Caps fans themselves were saying that Ovechkin didn't look like himself at all. They attribute it to him destroying a teenager and feeling bad about it, but it is just as likely to be an injury.
I doubt it's broken. That said, during the broadcast, while he was in the box, he had his hand out of his glove and was flexing it and moving his fingers in a way that you could tell it didn't feel good. Probably bruised his knuckles on Svech's chin and helmet.
Wasn't watching that part of the game live. I truly hope Svech is OK / can recover, regardless of timing. To me it seemed he never really was firm on his skates from the get-go of the tussle, so really got his bell rung.Once we're certain he can fly, let's send him to Tahiti.
I've never broken anything on my hand, but I could imagine from hitting helmet he could have broken it or could or could have a hairline fracture or could have bruised it, and really wouldn't know until later / x-rayed.I doubt it's broken.

If true that Ovechkin is feeling bad about the beatdown, we should totally play this up.
Instead of a kid, Svechnikov's mom wheels him out to the blueline as the Hurricanes honorary starter of the game. His entire face is bandaged, featureless except for the tear stains. Mom stares daggers at Ovi for the entire Anthem.
I'm very glad Svech is doing well. Rest him until he is (Playoff) 100%.
This team has a legit shot at competing in a few years in a realistic scenario. Svechnikov is foundational to that.
Even if he passes, they should sit for some time. This series is not important in the grand scheme of things.

Can we please make it a thing on the main boards that Svech actually won the fight?
LOL. The media is slobbering and rambling on and on about how "remorseful" Ovi is. I really didn't get that at all from his interview. It seemed like the normal, perfunctory stuff you say. Basically, "if he dies he dies" lol.
I'm recovering from a bone chip fracture of a knuckle and the finger bent the first two days after the break, but then stopped bending and it hurt for a few weeks. The splint comes off in 3 more weeks. So it's possible Ovi may have something like that. But I'm not saying he does eitherYeah we were 4th row last night and you could tell something was up with him. Maybe the game was just getting to him, but he constantly had an angry pained look on his face. More primal anger than gameface anger.
Even a solid finger bruise or a boxer's fracture can take weeks to heal.
As for Ovi’s hand, the man has played two postseasons on a fractured foot and still ran around, I think he’d be fine. I hope
You'd like to think that, but his hand has never been hit by something as hard as Svechnikov's face. Svech's face is a weapon!
Those cheekbones, anyway. Goodness!His face is so hard they use it to cut diamonds!
