you're partly right. If you hit the d-men enough, they wont be as excited to go fetch the puck on a dump in. Seeing as it was very early in the game, ovechkin is clearly setting the tone which shows good leadership skills. You do those hits enough and you'll eventually start getting alot of turnovers.
I understand what yer saying but i thought the other reason to hit, maybe next time ya forecheck a guy he might get nervous and cough it up {worried more bout the hit then the puck} Overrated that i disagree with , you prob the type that want them to take fighting out of hockey ;)

No. The point of a hit is to take the player OFF the puck which he did very effectively. Hah! Hitting overrated?! Great play by a great player
