What happened to Ovechkin?

[Ad@m]

Will Shanny suspend Ovechkin for leaving his feet and no penalty called on the play, or suspend Michalek for an elbow to the back of the head that resulted in a penalty?

probably no to both.

Ovie has declined because he wont adapt. Engo and Orpik and Letang shut down his rushes with regularity today simply by staying infront of him when he did his cut to the middle when in the offensive zone. Furthermore, I think the fire just isn't there.. after his confrontation with Orpik early in the game, first period I believe, AO wanted nothing to do with Brooks for the rest of the game.

IMO both plays need looked at on a separate scale and both need disciplined accordingly.

Let's see if I still have it down:

Z is easy - $2500 fine.

AO - should be 3 games. Subtract 3 because it's AO. Add 2 because AO has sucked this year and is 30 or 40 something in scoring therefore not an elite player that has to be protected from suspensions right now. 2 game handicap because Shanny is mentally handicapped, putting us at 0. Game was on NBC, so the answer is 1... 1 game, ah ah ah.

Z should be punished. AO should be punished A LOT more
