Ovechkin gets 3rd game misconduct of the season!

Update 2: Ovechkin was suspended today for 2 games for this hit yesterday. 

Update: Campbell is out the rest of the season and possibly some of the playoffs with a broken bone according to yahoos puck-daddy.

In todays Blackawk-Capital game Alex Ovechkin was given his 3rd game misconduct penalty of the season for boarding d-man Brian Campbell.  Here is a video of the incident:


Thoughts??

Crosby gets taken out!

In case you missed it here it is:

I hate Crosby as much as the next guy but that was a bad play by Downie.  Now if he plastered him with a nice open ice hit I wouldn’t have a problem but that was a bad play by him.  Knowing Bettman he will probably suspend him for the rest of the season including playoffs because he did it to Crosby.  In my opinion if he does get suspended over 5 games would be pushing it.

Damage to the Coliseum!

Last nights huge storm left damage of all sorts on the Island.  Down power lines and trees became a norm the longer you drove.  Well it also affect the Coliseum as 3 pieces of the aluminum facade came off during the storm.  Also for the first time in 30 years they had to close the box office entrance last night because of flooding.

Martins message to Phaneuf!!

Update: I just heard that near the end of the pre-game skate yesterday Martin called Phanuef out for a fight and obviously he rejected the invite. 

In case you missed it here is a video of Matt Martins hit on Dion Phaneuf in todays game.
