The massive drubbing he took against Canada for the 2nd time in his life (1st time at 2005 Juniors when Canada demolished Russia and knocked Ovie out of the game). The latest drubbing had to particularily hurt because Canada demolished Russia 7-3 with Ovie nowhere to be seen and ripped apart like he’s never been before. Ovie is not used to this. It has to shake him up big time. Were you expecting him to come back to the NHL and light it up? I was’nt. He’ss reassessing himself as a player. Humiliation has a way of doing that.
