Benched by Boudreau, unhappy Ovechkin says F-word

Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin told about the incident at the end of the Anaheim Ducks game (5-4 OT). With 1:30 minutes to go the Capitals were behind 3:4 and after a time-out head coach Bruce Boudreau decided to bench Ovechkin. The Russian reacted with apparently dropping an F-bomb.

«Of course I want to be in that situation on the ice and you know it doesn’t matter who I said and what I said.»

«It look funny on TV. And I don’t know, right now it’s big story. It’s just a little bit frustrating because I’m a leader on the team and I want to be on that kind of responsibility, but Bruce put Brooks [Laich’s] line and it worked. Of course, I understand,» Ovechkin said as quoted by The Washington Post.
