Unprecedented sequence: Alex Ovechkin loses total control and applauds the officials after receiving a penalty

Alex Ovechkin completely lost his cool last night in the game between the Capitals and Rangers.

He first swung a lot of sticks at Rangers player Barclay Goodrow, which eventually led to a "fight" between Goodrow and Tom Wilson. Fortunately, the referees handled the situation quickly and few blows were exchanged.

But Ovechkin didn't stop there. He really didn't. Because after the sequence, he began to solidly yell at the officials, while applauding them.

It was very unsubtle and it wouldn't be surprising if he was fined tomorrow. We know that the NHL is not very tolerant in these situations.

Here's the clip:
