Alex Ovechkin Responds To Ryan Getzlaf’s Diving Comments, Gets Beer Dumped On Him During Game

Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin has had quite an eventful past 24 hours. First he was accused of diving by Ryan Getzlaf, to which Ovechkin had a hysterical response.

Then after slashing the hell out of Kris Letang and caused some serious tempers to flair.

While Ovechkin was on the bench, he actually had a beer tossed on him.

Obviously a fan shouldn’t do this, regardless of what has transpired. At least Capitals head coach Barry Trotz and the Capitals trainer had some funny things to say about it:

“He was probably thirsty anyway,” Trotz told reporters after the game (viaCSNWashington.com). “The fans were into it. I haven’t been over here on this side a whole lot, but they’ve had quite a rivalry over the years and it sounds like the rivalry is coming back.”
