I'll give Ovi the benefit of the doubt on that, he was probably trying to draw the instigator penalty on Kunitz or Perron. Ovi's a beast and one of the few Russian stars that can hold his own.
Kovalchuk was another guy cut from that cloth, over 6 foot and 230-240lbs of muscle. I remember Braydon Schenn picking a fight with Kovalchuck and getting rag dolled and knocked out quick.
