Alexander Ovechkin has said that the Russian Federation were punished for their mistakes by Finland in their ice hockey quarter-final at the Winter Olympics.
The hosts, who were heavily tipped to win the gold medal in Sochi, lost 3-1 to the Finns this afternoon.
"It's all bad," BBC Sport quotes Ovechkin as saying.
"We started well, with a goal. But a few mistakes cost us the game. We tried to score, but just couldn't manage it. Emotions? At the moment I don't have any emotions."
Finland will play Sweden in the semi-finals.
