Fans Turn on Alex Ovechkin After Tasteless Statement

Alex Ovechkin received a lot of criticism since he started his career. It seems that recently, it all comes from the same person: Dominik Hasek.

Now, Ovi talked back.

It all started when Hsaek took a shot a Ovi for supporting Vladimir Putin. He didn't hold back in his comments:

Hasek's comments echoes what many people have been thinking in the last year. But he finally got Ovi's attention.

Hasek has just echoed the sentiments that many others have had over the past year, but now, he's caught the attention of Ovechkin.

Ovi's reaction is exactly what you'd expect from him. Over his career, we saw many times that comments like these don't affect him. This one isn't an exception:

His answer wasn't appreciated by many fans, who don't have the same stance on Russia's situation.

It looks like we're not near the end of this!
