Newly sworn in (again) Russian president Vladimir Putin took to the ice in an exhibition hockey match against Russian hockey legends.

Putin, who I'm guessing was awarded first, second, and third stars for his heroic performance, scored a goal and an assist in regulation time.

The score was tied after three periods, so a shootout was needed and Putin was just the guy that they wanted up.

Putin went ahead and scored a goal against a goaltender that has the reflexes of Tin Man before Dorothy got to him (a bit of a stretch but I got the joke out). Putin made a statement with that goal and it was simply, "Watch out Ovechkin!"

The only thing missing from this clip was a Mighty Duck-esque ending after Putin's goal, so here it is.
