Video: Brooks Orpik and Alex Ovechkin, The Collision
It also included Washington's Alex Ovechkin attempting to skate through Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpik.
Honestly, the reaction from the crowd in the wake of that collision was one of the loudest of the night, mainly because everyone in the building could see it coming from a mile away. As soon as Orpik turned the corner, it was as if Ovechkin was locked in, while the 17,132 in attendance anticipated something epic. They weren't disappointed.
It was also somewhat reminiscent of Ovechkin's attempt to hit Malkin a year ago.
