@stevet159 Ovechkin left his feet and targeted the head. If he can't follow the rules, he deserves to be suspended just like anyone else.

Not good at all and Michalek has a history of concussions to boot, Ovi will be in Shanahan's penalty box for sure. Cheers

@MrCapsfan09 The evidence is in the video above this comment, numbnuts.  Just because hockey stars drive the NHL market doesn't give them a license to headhunt. Sincerely, Mr. Obvious.

@TheHockeyChicks how is ovechkin a dirty player?, and players like him make the league so how can you take players like him out when they are what fuels the NHL markets. He is what people come to see in the all star game, this years all star game was a joke... NHL some- star game.. don't agree, don't have to look past Scott Hartnell cracking the line-up..

suspensions should only apply at home games

they get him 41 times a year while fans elsewhere can only see him once or twice

i was expecting him on florida on wednesday

@DontTalkToMeTroll Yeah, so if everyone leaves their feet, he shouldn't be suspended. These rules are so inconsistent.

ovechkin is a very skilled player but by the same token he is also a very dirty player. Skilled or not players like this do not belong in this league. He will never win the cup because he dont know how to play as a team, a single unite of 6. Im glad hes not in the allstar game now,

@macmilly277 ...they do let everyone get away with it...but him

[DontTalkToMeTroll]

@MJ52590 everyone leaves their feet when they make a hard hit... you have to if your driving in from below which is the essence of a CLEAN hard hit. In this case he just didn't time it right and started to drive up a little early and so his shoulder hit higher then he wanted. A good thing out of this play is that hopefully players saw how even the hardest hits can be safe if the person being hit is up against the boards...

And you know whats funny that is what Michalek gets for him doing the EXACT same thing to Hendricks of the capitals he just didnt leave his feet he jammed his elbow into the back of Hendricks head so he deserved that hit GO OVI

[faulkie1060]

You know whats funny about this.... If it was the other way around and it was Ovi that got slammed like that all you would be saying hell yes get off Ovi's dick OVI will wreck your shit
