The best part of this fight is that OV is a natural left hander, and didn't once throw a left 😂

he got clapped

Goodnight wilson, ovi loving caps fans, see you next year............have a nice summer.........

Ouch!!!!!

The kid started a fight he couldn't finish. You can clearly tell he knows he's in a fight and it's not Ovechkin's fault he got the mitts off first.

pucman is a dewsh. The kid wanted to cement himself inside the Russian nhl mafia. Thought Ovi can't fight, they would flail at each other and clinch and fall. He got dropped. Won't be the last time somebody takes some knuckles. 8 wasn't stalking anybody. Fools...

Boy, a lot of butthurt 'Cane fans here. Your boy tried to be a tough guy, bit off more than he could chew. Was knocked the fcuk out. End of story.

I give the youngster credit for dropping the mitts. Ovi isnt some big bad fighter but has size advantage and svechnikov could have declined or turtled. Its unfortunate when someone gets KO'd but really its hockey this shit happens. Ovi's earned his right of passage for this one.

It’s funny the video starts there and doesn’t show ovechkin stalking the kid with a couple butt ends, xcheck and slash. The kid had no choice at that point but answer yes. Ovechkin a pick your spot piece of crap and hope he gets his in the end.

bigd1 is a dumbass. Let's focus on the fight, which the kid asked for, because that's the purpose of this site. Keep the crying for your social media. Svech asked for the fight, OV gave it fair. It was a good fight without any cheap shots. Svech's big brother wants to go with OV next, fingers crossed for another good fight.

What was Svechnikov thinking? He is a 19 year old kid, with his team up 1-0 at the time of the fight, challaning a veteran that is 6 foot 3 235 lbs. for what reason? I hope the kid is okay, Ovechkin in a dominating win that should not have taken place in the first place.

Pretty sad to watch a 40 year old man beat up a kid. Always fights when he knows he is going to win coward beating up kids. I have seen big guys slap the kids around and give face washes but to knock a kid out. OV you suck I lost respect for you bitch.

If you can catch the video leading up to the fight you can see Svechnikov say "Let's Go". Ovi just obliged to give him what he was asking for, a concussion. Poor decision making skills all around. His brother will get his too next season....

This announcer he wasn't a "Homie" was he...What was he watching "The Cane's Are Perfect Channel".What A Maroon.Alex with a Clear Cut Win..Andrei when you get a chance go back and get "Your Balls" you left them on the ice somewhere.Lol.

What did ovechkin do wrong here? Absolutely nothing. It is hockey. He did not slam his head into the ice. The momentum brought them down. Svechbikov went limp. Not ovechkin's problem.

🤣🤣 I bet those votes for SvenKOd had a PA IP address 🤣🤣

Svechnikov picked someone WAY too big for him and paid the price. He was out before he hit the ice.

I'm a 'Canes fan, and I'm trying to figure out why Svech would challenge a bigger, stronger, heavier, and more experienced Ovi...not sure that was a smart move. AND, while I love the 'Canes announcers, I don't see Ovi slamming anyone's head into the ice...Svech fell back and his head hit the surface, no intent or motion by Ovi to push him down, he just held on. After a 5-0 ass whoppin' though, and this incident, game 4 should be a humdinger!

I've never been a fan of Ovechkin & never will be. I will always believe that this guy is on steroids and I pray that someone exposes him one day. I also hope that someone feeds him his lunch & soon.

Ovi Ovi ,Bumaye !

Svech got his shit ROCKED. Shouldn’t of messed with the Great 8.

Ovechkin has been dirty his whole career and deserves a beat down, but he decides to drop the gloves with a non-fighter 19-year old. What a proud moment for Caps fans.....

Ovi can throw hands, period

So Ovechkin beats up a kid.....what a tough guy!

Uh, W-Ovechkin?

Boy, Ovechkin is a toughee...like he never slashes other players but he's going to have a MENSTRUAL moment against a 19 year old rookie with no fight experience in the NHL. Ovi is just pissed off because the kid has more goals than him. BTW, the knock out that really counts is how the Canes not only kept Ovechkin off the scoresheet, but every Caps player. (I'm sure Ovi would have preferred a goal instead of a knock-out punch.)

2 Votes for Andrei Svechnikov winning the fight and 2 votes saying it was a draw. How many blind members does this site have again?

Throw some sass at a guy you'd better be able to stand up when the time comes. Svechnikov said the wrong thing to the wrong guy and paid for it. As an aside, I finally found an announce who's more of a whiny homer than Jack Edwards. Guys got slo-mo and still calls Ovechkin for hitting Svechnikov on the way down.

Ovi wrecked him. These Canes announcers are an complete joke LMAO

Embarrassing

Well, this is the 1st Knockout I have posted. Wow, Ovie just walloped this kid. Do I feel bad? Of course, but hey, this is the hard side off the game. No Brindamour is running around saying Svechie didnt want to fight. Well, it sure looked like it on the film. Dude better learn how to not leave his face ide open in the future. Ovie is a class guy but even he is going to smack the shyt out of you if you come at him. Oive with the TKO. (Who the heck voted Svechie to win? I thought LSD was hard to find these days? Guess not.)

These announcers should be ashamed. They couldn't have been more wrong in their "analysis." KOvi answered this kid's challenge, they BOTH were throwing rights at each other. It's not like Ovechkin was wailing away at a guy who was trying to cover up. The second and third right jabs that Ovechkin threw landed SQUARE on the chin of the 19 year old, and the kid collapsed. Ovechkin reacted as quickly as he could and tried to pull back the final punch which did NOT connect. He also, in no way, pushed his head down on the ice. If anything, he avoided falling on top of him and immediately let go and got up following the KO. He did everything right here, and for a fight between two non-fighters, this was incredibly entertaining. Even if it didn't end in a KO, it would've been a great fight based on the way they were both throwing those rights at each other. Great fight and a fantastic ending. Ovechkin's showing was vastly better than his last fight against Dubinsky. This was about the only positive thing that came out of this game for the Capitals.

Kid got dropped. Happens. Not the end of the world, but I will say this...Ovi said in the post-game, "He asked me to fight and said 'lets go'" so they fought. Should be the same if someone like Michael Ferland asks Ovi to fight too then, right? I'm a fan of Ovi and the way he plays. Always have been. But I've seen him hit people real hard and I've seen others "ask him to fight" yet he's not always so willing. In fact, he almost never is...

ovi is a pit bull- tank...ov didn't want to fight the kid the kid pushed and got knocked out...simple

2 face punches and down he goes

Absolute dominant performance from Ovechkin, KTFO! 🥊

Why did you do that? Ovechkin isn't a fighter, but he's tough!

Amazing

alex last punch with the kids rear end practly on the ice and alex's weight adding to the head ice collision = possible concussion. its such a split second thing so i guess you cant blame alex, don't like alex but being fair.

Ovi did not ram Svechnikov's head into the ice. The momentum of Svechnikov falling as Ovi hit him made it look worse than it was. Ovi grabbing his jersey probably prevented him from hitting the ice harder. Svech messed with the wrong guy.

This announcer is an absolute homer and the 1% of you who voted otherwise are too. Ovechkin did nothing wrong (I just died a little inside). He never went through with the final punch after Svechnikov went out and I can’t blame him for them falling. Good job by both Ove got the jaw and the TKO

Not sure why Svechnikov would want this fight....It was a one punch knockout for sure...I saw no evidence that Ovechkin tried to drive his head into the ice...moronic call by the TV guy....total bullshit!

Wow. Go Caps! B

Andrei asked for it, and Ovie, in only his fourth fight, delivered.

I have no idea who the clowns that voted for Andrei or a draw are, but your blind as bats. A little boy wanted to play in the big sandbox and got it handed to him. Not even close.

did not hit him on the way down. announcers were wrong.

...lets wait a few more Ovechkin fights to see if he ever takes on a legit fighter (instead of a playoff-fighting-scrub), before we go handing out ratings of 8's and 9's. I gave this a 6, and that may be too high. Remember, guys that NEVER fight (like Svechnikov) always risk becoming a "mop for the floor".

No idea what the (obviously biased) sportscaster was on about. It wasn't like Ovi was pounding Svechnikov when he was (down and out) on the ice. He KOed him and then both guys fell. So what?

Wow. Ovechkin with the win by knockout. A great fight by both players, although obviously Ovi performed much better. Respect to Svechnikov for attempting to get his team energized. I think he was expecting a to come out of this with a few cuts/bruises, but I don’t think he expected to get knocked out. I hope the kid is alright, he held his own for about 3 seconds but Ovechkin is the Russian Machine here and he taught this kid to respect his elders. I understand that the announcers are going to be biased towards their team, but Ovechkin did not slam the kid’s head into the ice. That’s delusional. Anyone who thinks this was anything other than a mutually agreed upon fight by two professional players is fooling themselves. Honestly, I was at both Caps home games and I didn’t even realize these two had been chirping at each other since Game 1. That just further cements that his was bound to happen and Svechnikov himself wanted to go gloves off with Ovi. Can’t say Ovi has “no class” for “picking on a 19 year old” when the kid wanted it probably more than Ovi did. Ultimately though, this fight did nothing for the Caps. The Canes seemed to feed off the energy from this one (and their fans were LOUD! Props to everyone at PNC Arena!) and ended up dominating Game 3. This is shaping up to be a good series.

Svech-“Hey old man, give me your lunch!” Ovi-“Ok. Here’s a two piece and a soda” Svech-“boy I could sure use a nap💤 “

I want to see a compilation of games 1, 2, and 3 with everything that lead up to this fight. Overall 10 because knock-outs are the pinnacle of fight-endings.

Glad to see Ovi drop the mitts.

Stop talking like Ovi is some great fighter. He has ONE win in 10+ years against a teenager. What comes around goes around.

Who was that ding-dong crying about the extra shot. KO Win.

Ovechkin has clearly picked up some pointers from Wilson. He looked like a legit fighter in this one. So did Svechnikov, for that matter. He was able to throw some decent rights before he went beddy byes (which occurred before he hit the ice, and is most likely the reason he hit the ice so hard). Pretty good scrap. I thought for sure I was about to witness a postseason GHHT from Ovi in this one, especially the way he was playing in this game and in this series so far...not to be. Caps' TV broadcast provided a much better clip of the fight, without all the whining. All you can hear at the end are Alan May and Craig Laughlin both saying "WOW!!!" And, whoever voted this as a draw or a win for Svechnikov should have their voting privileges revoked.

1. I'd be interested to know which idiots said Svech won the fight OR it was a draw 2. Those homerlicious announcers were so off base it was comical. Even with the slow mo replay it was clear he didn't slam his head on the ice from a punch. Dude was out cold 4 ft from the ice. Ovi holding on to his jersey while still in fight mode probably prevented the kid from having scrambled egg brain even more. 3. Imagine being a young, dumb and full of... himself... kid who bites off more than he can chew v his homeland hero: Svech after some slashes and bumps - "Wanna go pretty boy?" Ovi - "you sure about that?" Svech - "Da" 4 seconds later the Murder on Ice is over Maybe not challenge the Russian Machine like that, all the while thinking your stones are made of brass when they were really made of toilet tissue. But, I hope the kid is OK

You don’t mess with the machine.

You would think the announcer would realize he was being an idiot on the replay, but nope, he just keeps ranting about a perfectly legit KO. I don’t get how anybody that has this much hockey experience is whining about an awesome tempers flaring, playoff slugfest. Ovechkin is an awesome “old time” hockey player in a game that lacks as much nowadays.

Who is the whiny announcer? The 19 year old kid slashed OV and was running his mouth, so the old man put a beating on him. You would think a 19-year old Russian player would have some respect for the veteran. Now he does. KO for OV.

All ovi here..... this announcer sounds like Jerk Edwards.... kid got rocked hope he’s okay..... big win for the Canes..... big win for the Leafs tonight as well

Kid got clipped it happens, he stood and threw just got clipped

Damn

Wow, you don't see ovechkin drop them often Lot of anger in those shots, knocked the shit out of mouthy Svechnikov. Ovie was only Cap playing with an edge this game.

Ovechkin to big and stronger and landed some big time punches end of Svechnikov

RUS vs RUS

Scoring title again and now an epic beat down. What is it? Ovi's 4th fight or so? That kid was begging for it and got his wish.

Solid KO from Ovi. Good on the kid for stepping up to take him on.

Svechnikov got wrecked in this one. He was out cold on his way down to the ice. KO win for Ovie.

Svechnikov got wrecked in this one. He was out cold on his way down to the ice. KO win for Ovie.

Don't poke the bear. Hard learned lesson.

These homer Canes announcers are idiots. Ovechkin didnt ram his head into the ice...the kid was holding onto him and the momentum from knocking him the F&^$ out, is was carried him to ground. Ovi never fights and perhaps now people understand why...his is a straight monster.

Why on Earth did Svechnikov go looking for this one? Good grief... and a KO.

ovie got knocked out but someone forgot to tell him. Poor kid got dusted. +1 for him based solely on sympathy

Ovie gets the win but come on now, Svech is barely 19 years old. He barely has hair growing on is balls. This isn't one to brag about, besides Svech actually got in a few good shots. Ovie and a 4

Ruskie vs Ruskie

That announcer almost hit Hornqvist on the Twatmeter. My 4 year old daughter came in the room and asked who the little girl was whining on the computer. I'll give Svechnikov the slight edge in this tilt.

Lol. Announcers called that wrong. Ovi doesn't hit him going down and, in fact, does pull up.

Rather two skill players didn’t throw down, but age and cunning overcame youth and vigour here for sure. Ovi’s arm keeps Svech having to throw to the outside over it, while Ovi gets his licks in direct and fast. Unfortunate that Svech’s head bounced on the ice, but O didn’t throw him down or keep punching once the kid’s legs buckled and he dropped. I’d pay $5 to know what Svech said that made Ovi pop off - that’s rare! I did see the foreplay. Can we request a different video, one with non-Canes commentary? This one is not that great, if there’s one with a less biased view I for one would appreciate it.

A boy calling out a man... That's one way of making a name for yourself... Probably not the result he was expecting though... LOL!

KID ASKED OV TO FIGHT AND YALL WANNA DEFEND THE LITTLE GUY? HAHAHA THIS IS THE NHL NOT JUNIORS. FOR YALL TO SAY HE PICKED ON A 19 YEAR OLD IS DUMB. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE INITIATED THE FIGHT

D E STROYED

God, I thought the clown in Boston was the worst “homer” in the league?

Big win for Ovechkin. Svechnikov was ballsy for even trying this one. Also, to whoever posts these, you should've used the national broadcast instead of this biased garbage out of Carolina.

Ovechkin is now known as the first player to commit first degree murder on the ice. He faces no charges for the incident as authorities were hesitant to approach and arrest him citing safety concerns.

Azzhat announcers, total homer BS commentary. Rookie talking chit got his azz handed to him big time.

Caps lone highlight on otherwise lopsided dominant Canes win. All downhill for Caps from here. Ovi has some righteous quick-twitch muscles...hit the poor kid like a jackhammer, all on the button. Schooling a rookie. Lesson: f*** with the Bull, you get gored. Sadly, Canes were energized by the KO.

I think those announcers were wrong. Ovi clipped him on the way down but I didn't see where he rammed the guys squash into the ice.

Captain Caveman would like to Apologize to that Red Headed Stepchild...

Douche nozzle announcer. Ovi did not pound on the kid while he was down. The kid was out. Second, have your pussy team get some toughness so the 19 year old kid doesn't have to fight (BTW, props to the kid for giving it a go). Ovi has some old school to him.

Great fight. If you dont want skill players fighting their own battles get a enforcer.

Ovi with the KO

Wow! Young Bull got schooled by the old Bull. Ovie, Ovie, Ovie...

out on his feet, Ovechkin did all he could to stop him. He was just hanging on to his sweater, but they guy was already out cold. Worst homer announcer ever, but i guess seeing i guy like that may make you a little emotional.

Great to see. What the hell is the guy talking about who is saying Ovi should not have fought him cause he is to young? Most ridiculous statement I have heard. I mean what the hell was that supposed to even mean?

Down for the count...

Wow. And the legend of number 8 continues to grow. Two Ruskies too. Beauty. Hey PenguinsFan, what do you expect Ovi to do. Let the kid make a name for himself at Ovi’s expense. Uh, no thanks. Announcer definitely on Meth as revenmaniacski astutely pointed out. Dude, go watch Tiger’s replays of his master victory if our game is too tough for you. Boys, you poke the bear, be prepared to pay. No dog in this fight btw. Gave it a solid 8.

He was out before he hit the ice. That announcer has to be on meth. How can you say Ovi slammed his head. He reminds me of that dumbass in boston. Both players dropped the gloves willingly. Andrei just ktfo! Good CLEAN fight. Ovi with the KO

Congrats Ovi you knockout a 19 year old kid your so tough. You should’ve been smart and smiled and skated away from the kid. Ovi should fight players his own age not teens. #NoClass

Carolina police are looking for a murder suspect under the name Alex Ovechkin

Always figured if Ovie fought he’d kick ass, and that’s exactly what happened. Straight right KO!

That commentator needs to get his head out of his ass 🤦‍♂️

The announcer ruined the moment. Ovi didn’t do a thing wrong there. He let up as much he could and did no sort of head smashing. An awesome fight with bad commentating. Hopefully Andrei is alright but a great bout and a great job by Ovi.

I think andrei got ko’d when his head hit the ice but it’s still a win for the guy who lost to Dubinsky
