Apparently Ovechkin has only had around five fights in his entire NHL career. Now we know why.
People think of Ovechkin as a great sniper and forget that he's also a 6'3, 240+ pound wall of muscle. He's a beast. I read that the kid he fought was 190 pounds. An absolute specimen in his physical prime fighting an 18 year old who's 50 pounds smaller than him is just a terrible mismatch and it's no wonder he got hurt.
