The temperature has risen between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals as Caps captain Alex Ovechkin shows his distaste for the officiating in todays game.
In the third period of todays game, things came to a head when the Rangers and Capitals started jawing at each other and Ovechkin was tossed from the contest, take a look:
Ovi sarcastically applauded the official after being asked to leave the game 😳
Ovechkin is no stranger to player a rough style game, but it's not every day you seen him get so angry makes fun of the officials while he's skating off the ice.
It's also a rare sight to see Ovi get tossed from any game, to see him react like that at 37 years old, the officiating must've been pretty bad.
