marty_is_better30 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) http://www.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?id=52944 Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin was involved in a knee-on-knee collision in the first period of Monday night's game against the Carolina Hurricanes and needed help from medical personnel to leave the ice. He was assessed a 5 minute for kneeing and a game misconduct.This is the 2nd game misconduct since Wednesday. Thoughts.

marty_is_better30 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I personally think he need to be suspended for 2 misconducts in less then a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlsen Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I personally think he need to be suspended for 2 misconducts in less then a week. i agree. no player should get special treatment even if they are a superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin226 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I personally think he need to be suspended for 2 misconducts in less then a week. Doubt the NHL would incur something like that on their love.. Avery would be out 5 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDPucks Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The "kneeing" call against Ovechkin tonight I feel was a bad call. He didn't classically stick his knee out but instead the check was more square-on with him leading with his upper body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO, IMO. It is all in the OOT Scoreboards if you take the time to read it. Just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Rattlehead18 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 it wasn't as much Ovechkins fault as it was bad timing. He went for a body check but was just a split second late. He did lead with his knee though. So that's where I can see his fault. But if it was a second earlier, it would have been a clean hit.

I edited the thread after the question then mad another post instead of re editing it again. Ok, did this really need its own thread about the Rangers Alex Ovechkin? NO, IMO. It is all in the OOT Scoreboards if you take the time to read it. Just saying... I made it a discussion thread as I am mentioning multiple games.

RSC Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Time to consult the chart: But in all seriousness, if Ovechkin isn't suspended, then it would only give more ammo to people who love to hate the league. we all get it that Ovechkin has helped the league get to where it is now since the lockout, but honestly, you can't do sh!t like this.

Prucenterrules Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 He didn't mean to hit him with his knee. The guy moved out of the way. Even if he is suspended, if he's hurt it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ovechkin becoming a dirty player in the NHL now? Sure looks like it for the poster boy in the NHL. That knee on knee was nasty and he will be out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice chart! LOL! I believe Don cherry on HNIC said a couple months ago that all these hits Ovechkin throws would catch up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 That chart never gets old. Glad to see others appreciate it, too. I've actually got it printed out and posted near my desk at work - along with the playoffs version. Anyway. Ovechkin's latest hit doesn't seem particularly dirty, but an argument could be made that he's just being reckless out on the ice. Two game misconducts in a week? Even if he doesn't warrant a suspension, he should at least be spoken to by Colin Campbell and the powers that be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrthemike Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Looked like he tried to use a shoulder and missed but got the knee instead. Sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 he certainly did try to hit him with the shoulder, but also tried to use his knee to prevent the player from avoiding the check. Seems like the major is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Well, looks like Ovechkin's getting disciplined after all. 2-game suspension. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=300686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 lol, it works out conveniently given he'd probably miss a game or two with the injury anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral Zone Trap Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 lol, it works out conveniently given he'd probably miss a game or two with the injury anyway. I hope that isn't the case. He should serve the two game ban when he is fit to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I guess the point is he can be medically cleared to play (although not actually ready) then serve his 2 games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
