Ovi is the man!
Pure class
How can you not be romantic about hockey.
Ovi's a class act
Ovi / Fleury are both legends and class acts! Pens should have brought MAF back to retire in Pittsburgh … FSG can't sell our Pens fast enough … maybe MAF and Lemieux can get together and save our Pens one last time by buying them back from FSG
I am not a Caps fan. But with this class act by Ovechkin and the team showing this respect to Marc Andre Fleury. I can only hope Ovi gets his due when he retires. This is what sports in general should be like.
It is relly cool
Hockey is an interesting sport, one minute they are hitting each other and the next, showing respect!
Как же хочется вернуться в начало и посмотреть вновь великое противостояния легенд.
You don't usually see this in hockey, it's rare though truely amazing to see and watch as a hockey fan, way to go to the great number 8 alexander ovechkin full of class, as a fan this is emotional as well as Fleury will be in the hall of fame
You missed the part when Ovechkin yelled at the team to come out of the dressing room to shake hands
"Don't remember this other than Gretzky." Really, Ray? Sedins, Ryan Smyth, Linden. This is a classy move don't get me wrong but there's been a few that have gotten it.
Only in hockey do you see this kind of class and sportsmanship.
When i was a kid, drinking coke on the hockey bench and my friend told me thats what Ovi does he was one of my favorites ever since then. Crazy thats its actually been over 10 years.
Now that’s a class act
Ovi is great.
Not sure why any of those players would leave the ice though. They all knew it was the last time they'd face Fleury, and even if they're young they know how special this goalie is
Ovi is a great leader
This was the best example of class and sportsmanship by Washington . I really enjoyed it.
Саня молодец!поступок заслуживающий Уважения!
this is why i've been a hockey fan since the late 50s…classy move by the GR8..Best wishes Marc Andre Fleury
This is why we love the game ♥️
So honorable and dignified! This is why hockey is the best
Алекс не удивил, он вам привил ценности России́ские , Советские … Добрые, человечные.! Он молодец! Это чудо , которое нам повезло увидеть в этой жизни;! Я ему здоровья желаю . и хочу сказать СПАСИБО ОВИ!
Classy
Hockey is the best. Let’s go CAPS!!!
Obi is the best player around the world now…❤
Respect!💫
Marc-Andre is a testament to the many good people of Quebec.
Stuff like this is why hockey is the greatest pro team sport.
Hockey players are a different breed just pure class!
I'm such a fan of Fleury. I can't believe he's retiring. Ovi is a great leader to gather his team back. I love it.
Wild vs Caps 2025 finals. lol jk
Для игроков Вашингтона совсем несложно было проявить уважение к Fleury, но Марк этот момент будет помнить всю жизнь! 👋❤
The Flower will never die!!!!
Ovi and Fleury, two of the greatest and classiest hockey players of all time.
So sad to see the Flower go… and much respect for Ovi, that is an amazing show of respect from a player that could just decide to revel in his own accomplishments!
Уважение одного к другому. Наверное поэтому мы любим хоккей 🏒. Спасибо Флери за игру, которой он отдавал всего себя. Мы помним.
How can you not be romantic about hockey?
I want higlights of all goals of these two great players.
Reminds me of Iginla doing this with Trevor Linden.
Love it!
