Alex Ovechkin called out Don Cherry last night in a 5-2 Capitols win over Tampa Bay. After turning Matt Pettinger into a pretzel and roofing a goal over Mike McKenna's shoulder, Ovechkin did this:
It was clearly an homage to Don Cherry's pathetic, xenophobic whining about Ovechkin's celebrations.
"He's going to be (mad), for sure," Ovechkin said of Cherry. "I love it. I can't wait till he says something about me. Old coaches, old system, you know?"
Now, Don Cherry isn't the only one who is going to take umbrage to Ovi's display.
Here's an idea Rick, next time, bet on Ovechkin.
To all you Cherry sycophants and idiots in Tampa Bay complaining about Ovechkin: Stop him. Shut him down. Hell, to all members of the Lightning and their apologists, concentrate on your own team and your own problems before you complain that someone who knows how to score revels in that feeling.
Maybe McKenna is onto something
Do it next time Mike ... if you stop him.
