Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
The general consensus I'm hearing is that Ovi deserves a suspension. I disagree wholeheartedly...
Here's what drew a 5 gamer recently. He's clearly sticking out his leg. And now Ovi's... Seems to me like an inadvertent hit. He was going for a legal kill shot, and missed. He got ejected from the game, and IMO that's a worthy enough penalty. Anyone have any thoughts here? UPDATE: 2 GAME SUSPENSION. 2 games. Ovechkin day-to-day with sore knee - NHL.com - NHL Insider Lame. I guess it's a lot less than I've been hearing thrown around. I don't like it, I don't agree with it, I think its bogus. Whatever... Don Cherry will be happy.

Re: Washington Capitals 2009-2010 ongoing thread
"Any thoughts?"
Well at least he was able to put the knee on ice for the first few minutes har har har. I actually went skating this weekend, my fourth time since my ten year 'layoff' and was finally able to remember how to skate backwards. Unfortunately I forgot how to transition to forward again and fell on my shoulder. I was fine and then proceded to skate for another 40 minutes but after I finished it started to hurt like hell. My point being is I have no idea how these guys deal with getting hit and even flying through the air to make hits on ice. Football you get hit more but at least you land on grass. Hockey on the other hand you land on a rink that's hard as a rock. As for the suspension, I think it's fair. If anything it gives him time to rest. If I remember right he was taking pain pills at the end of last year so maybe these "breaks" will help him stay healthy if only a little bit. Bradley and Ernskine though are going to have some work to do in the coming weeks when Ovi comes back.
