Death threat against Ovechkin

[Aussie Joe 0]

Story on ESPN floating around atm, stating Ovy's life was threatened on an internet msg board.

Seems like it may have just been some teenage bravado, but like any high profile personality, all threats are probably investigated.

"Why do they call him that?"

"Because he dodges bullets Avi."

How can the release the name of the kid? He's only 17 and a minor, that now feels like the biggest tool in the world but that's besides the point

Where do you see a name...or is there another report of the incident.

I don't see a name either

Police told Channel 11's Marc Willis that a 17-year-old in Chambersburg, Pa. posted the threat on an NHL Web site on Wednesday.

I believe Marc Willis works for Channel 11.

Wow, mountain out of a mole hill.

I wonder how many Bettman/Avery/Bertuzzi message board "death threats" resulted in full blown police investigations and seized property?

If i was Ovechkin i would not think much of this, probably just a pissed off teenager who is a Pens fan.

The Russian Mob threatens all the Ruskies all the time, they're used to it. If not the players, their families.
