I actually don’t even think Ovechkin had lined him up, he was looking for the drop pass and decided last minute to go for the body.
No flying elbow. Yes it was a big hit but you don’t get five minutes because the hit was hard.
A penalty was fine.
2 minutes for being bigger and stronger than the other guy. nothing he could do there.
Lmao dude tried to jump out of the way and that little boy got rocked
Must be a lot of Montreal fans in here. A penalty, 100%. But y’all calling for a major/suspension are wild. This is playoff hockey, baby.

idk. Looked like a clean hit to me.
It’s a hockey play. Nothing egregious.
I mean Evans just had the puck… idk about interference there. He gets spun around but it’s shoulder to shoulder. Struggling to justify any penalty for this.
God you people are sore. He pulls up from the collision as much as he can, he’s almost fucking 40 what more do you want? Every caps hit suspension?
the hit is immediately after he releases the puck lmao. How is that interference?
You could see him trying to avoid him
Hagel should’ve never been suspended, this is exactly the same play. Both hits are a little late but nothing more than a 2 minute minor
It looks way worse at full speed than it does on the replay. Penalty sure, but it was basically just Evans running into Ovechkin and losing the size battle. Not a hit to the head, Ovy didn’t leave his feet. It’s a bang bang play that resulted in 2 minutes.
2 minutes for being a lot bigger than the other guy
I don’t think this is a penalty
2 min, all good.
shouldnt even be interference… dude literally just passed the puck and it was a clean hit.
Refs trying to call/reel back in a series they lost control of 80 minutes ago. Gonna be a rough finish
Dude got “helicoptered” 🚁
It’s a pure game management call by the refs after the softies called on Armia and Anderson
What the fuck are people talking about here? How is this a penalty, let alone anything more than 2 minutes? Evans literally just let go off the puck, so it wasn’t interference, and the hit was square on the shoulder, so it’s not a head hit, elbow tucked, so it’s not elbowing, didn’t skate or jump into it so it’s not charging, and moreover, Evans turned directly into Ovechkin’s path. I get that this sub has a MASSIVE Canadian bias, but come the fuck on.
Carbery to go three for three?
That’s a terrible call wtf
Such a Montreal call. In other words, soft.
Nhl is becoming similar to the NFL and NBA.
AKA WWE.
Everyone crying about a headshot is living in an alternate reality. What was he supposed to do? He wasn’t even lining up to hit him. He literally turned into ovechkin.
If you want justice for the beating Montreal took tonight, look no further than Anderson on their own bench. Taken cheap shot after cheap shot all series and his teammates are paying the price for it.
Ovechkin wasn’t even thinking but here but the opportunity just so happened to present itself. People are saying he “had” the puck but he never had possession he just scooted it along. I think people realized ovy didn’t really mean to hit him, but if he did there probably would have been a fight. You just simply don’t hit someone in a position like that

Should been more than just interference
