Russia took gold in a 5-4 win.
This is what A.O. and Kovalchuk talk about:
“I want to thank my mom and dad for always believing in me. This is a huge win for us, and I dedicate it to all the Russian fans. >>[kisses Kovalchuk on the cheek] I love him!<< We’re the best in the world right now, we got the gold medal, and I think we deserved it. We played hard through the whole tournament. This gold medal is the biggest thing that’s ever happened to me.” -Ovechkin after win
This quote was all from the IIHF site. I swear, I didn’t make this one up. I love it!
I wonder what Afinogenov and A.O. talk about?

That really doesn’t surprise me at all coming from Ovie. He seems like a VERY affectionate person!
I think if he tried to kiss Max, he would run and hide. Even though our boys are very affectionate as well (think back to all the times Soupy and Millsey said “I love you” to each other back in the day…), Max does not seem to be a very “touchy-feely” person.

I love how Ovie kisses everyone!!

I love that Ovie kisses too!
I agree though, Max does not seem the kissy Russian type.

Isn’t Ovie adorable??? He’s like a toddler, even when you are mad at him, you can’t REALLY be mad at him. I love they way he covers his ears when people “BOO” him. It’s so cute!

“He’s like a toddler…”
Yeah, that’s what I always think about the players that have trouble speaking English (like Geno). Ha. I have a love-hate with A.O.

I think if Uvchicken tried to kiss Max, Max would throw him to the ice and start pounding on him the way he did Justin Williams of the Hurricanes. God, that was great! I love when Max gets mad!
