Referee ejects Alex Ovechkin for mocking him
The tension between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals reached a boiling point as Caps captain Alex Ovechkin expressed his frustration with the referees during today's game.
Alex Ovechkin Disrespects a Referee After Getting Ejected
In the third period, a heated exchange between the Rangers and Capitals players unfolded, culminating in Ovechkin's ejection from the match. Witness the moment for yourself:
Ovi sarcastically applauded the official after being asked to leave the game 😳
While Ovechkin is known for his aggressive style of play, it's not often we see him visibly irritated to the point of mocking the officials as he exits the ice.
Seeing Ovi thrown out of a game is a rare occurrence. For the 37-year-old veteran to react so passionately, the officiating must have been particularly questionable. The escalating rivalry between these two teams is definitely something to keep an eye on as the season progresses.
