Not cool, comrade

From Youtube, via Deadspin:



The location is unclear from the article, but it's either in or near the Russia House in Vancouver. The videographer, reportedly a female fan, is taking video of Ovechkin walking past and talking on his cell phone when the player changes direction and puts his hand over the camera (and apparently pushing it down) before walking past.

Whether this took place last night or today, no matter the situation in the corridor, that behavior is inappropriate for Ovechkin.

If the fan is taking video in a place they aren't supposed to be, let security take care of it. If, as is more likely the case, they were doing something on the up-and-up that you simply didn't like...suck it up and deal.

The whole exchange requires no further analysis, except to suggest that Ovechkin would do well to reach out to the fan and apologize.
