[Howard He Do It?!]

Such a dangerous, disrespectful play.

He should be suspended, based on his history of these types of hits.

Anyone other player in the league and that is just a minor penalty. Maybe a double minor.

id love to know what the ratings were when the game started and then after ovie was kicked out lol

Stupid play by Ovechkin.

And proof that the league isn't afraid to suspend stars in the league...as long as they're the "right" stars to suspend.

Or the said player has a pretty long list of past offenses that were pretty serious...

[Howard He Do It?!]

Get away in the sense of the media and fans.

It seems no one wants to hold him accountable for his actions.



This. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. Crosby.

And I defend Crosby because I do believe that whining and diving is less serious then potentially ending players careers on a laundry list of borderline hits.

But again, let's focus on Ovechkin. I do not want to talk about Crosby.

That's impossible considering your track record of hating Ovie and loving Crosby. You have zero credibility.

Maybe, but when a player builds a reputation for dirty hits like that, then the punishment increases.

It's like committing a crime. Lighter punishment the first time around, but keep committing the crime and the punishment gets worse.

Everyone says it isnt that bad of a hit, and it is an overreaction. Ovechkin deserved to get kicked out 100%. That hit is as dirty as they come. There was simply no overreaction on that call, Ovechkin got what he deserved. Now the NHL needs to grow the balls to suspend other stars when the need to be.

[Howard He Do It?!]

The NHL is a complete joke if they suspend Ovie for that hit. No where near the kind of hit that deserves 5 and a game.

And the people that love Ovie and hate crosby have better credibility?

Than you? Absolutely. You have zero objectivity when it comes to matters like these.

Ovie made more contact with Campbell's side than his back. The hit looked bad because of how hard Campbell went into the boards.

And you are the objectivity king since when?

It seems I'm not the only one in the world that thinks Ovechkin was in the wrong here.

And that the fact he stayed down playing hurt. If he got up right away I don't think the call would of been this bad but hey this is the NHL no one knows what is going on ever.

Big deal....the guy is 4-5 feet from the boards, in a vulnerable position. There's a time to hit and a time to lay off. That was a time to lay off.

If Campbell isn't turning there, he goes head-first into the boards and he's carted off on a stretcher. The fact that he's in a turn helps him go into the boards at a less-dangerous angle.

If this was Crosby and not Ovie would you have the same point of view? That's objectivity. It doesn't take a genius to see it.

Yes, yes I would. I do not like these hits from behind. Name a play when Crosby almost ended someone's career though?

He just doesn't have the borderline plays stacked up like Ovechkin does. Sorry. Reality is what it is.

Lay off? It's not all that easy to lay off when your going in full blast into the zone. Do I think he should of lay off, absolutely. When your out on the ice tensions become so high and you forget things. Sh*t starts to happen, and things like this happen.

[BuckeyeWingsfan80]

was it a bad play by Ovie (by bad I mean it wasn't going to help his team) - yes.

Was it dirty? I don't think so, especially given his reaction to the hit as Campbell laid there on the ice.

He needs to be under control more, but I seriously doubt he intended to hurt Campbell.

[Howard He Do It?!]

I'll believe it when I see it but until then you still have zero credibility in these matters. Your track record dictates a different response.

Crosby and Ovie play two different games, so of course the "evidence" is going to be different. Ovie lays questionable hits and Sid dives.

It is easy to lay off. How about not push him in the first place.
