Ovečkin IMHO believes he´s so superior to others. (selfish pride) The goal wasnt his, but you let it look like it was skill that scored, not own goal. What was funny, our team played very aggressively from what I saw, like Canadians lol. Which Ive never seen before. Mr. Kukumberg who won KHL in AK Bars team, made some sick mistake that lead to the 3-rd goal. I think Russia played better, I mean 2 periods. What is even more funny by organizers is that when our team plays, tickets cost triple the standard - 120 instead of 40 €. Not that I have the money to spend for fun or even travel...as Im no capitalist thief...
