"Five penalties taken on six shifts, standing in front of his net on a goal"-rough. Doesn't roll off the tongue. We'll work on it. But wow. Rough.
Anyway, Alex Ovechkin's fiancee Maria Kirilenko noticed.
Maybe he is, Maria. Maybe he is. The record for penalty minutes in a game: Randy Holt of the Los Angeles Kings with 67 (Mar. 11, 1979). The record for individual penalties: 10, set by the Boston Bruins' Chris Nilan on March 31, 1991.
It could be worse; Dale Hunter could still be Green's coach. A couple years ago, John Erskine somehow managed to take a triple-minor on one play, and Hunter didn't speak to him for months.
Shortly after Kirilenko's tweet, Ovechkin scored to clean up part of Green's mess and cut the Tampa Bay Lightning's lead to 3-1.
