Lots of talk about Ovechkin knocking out a young Russian player in a fight. Unfortunately, there is a risk with fighting... the guy should’ve stayed out of it. It was clear it was a mutual decision to fight... he even threw some decent punches... but, as Don Cherry says, if you mess with the bull, you’re going to get the horn.
I have all Blues and Capitals players in my hockey pool. If these teams get into the 2nd round, I am pretty much guaranteed to win it.
Apparently Ovechkin has only had around five fights in his entire NHL career. Now we know why.
Great game in Denver last night. Quite enjoyed it. Hopefully Calgary can pull one off tonight. They will have to play a hell of a lot better than they did on Monday.
