Ryan Getzlaf called out Alex Ovechkin for an "embarrassing" dive on Sunday, but Ovi isn't concerned about the criticism.
“Maybe he’s just jealous. I have hair, he don’t have hair," Ovechkin said, according to the Washington Post. "We can start talking about it all day long. I think it was comment because he was disappointed they lost. Again, it is what it is."

Getzlaf is certainly quite bald for a 29-year-old, but he was able to laugh off Ovechkin's comments.
Getzlaf laughed at Ovi's response: "He made a hair joke. That's unbelievable. ... I'm sure everyone in here knows I don't have hair."

It's a shame these two teams won't meet again this season.
