Campbell is gone for the year fuck that pisses me off. There was no need for that cheap shot push. Campbell is lucky he didn't go head first into the boards he could've broke his neck.
Im a big Ovie fan. The guy is incredible, but this hit was retarded.
Im not a Blackhawks fan, and still find myself pretty pissed off when I heard about Campbell's colarbone. I would have loved to see The Hawks make a strong push for the Cup, but this injury is gonna hurt them offensively AND defensively.
So as a fan of hockey, that hit was friggin retarded

Cooke's dirty hit was 10 times worse than Ovie's push. What happened to Campbell is extremely unfortunate, but it's not like he full on checked him into the boards. Ovie plays reckless at times, but I don't think this was one of those times.
That being said, I'm not gonna really argue with the 2 game suspension, given the result and the fact that it doesn't really matter for the Caps. But if you are going to suspend Alex and let Cooke get away with that dirty shit, it's just another example of Bettman protecting his precious Penguins. It makes me sick.

If you wanna play the "blame" game, then maybe berate Chicago's netminder, whose job it is to let the defenseman know just who is on his tail when heading behind the net with his back to the ice. Nobody has mentioned this yet of course, and if OV would have actually "hit" Campbell instead of merely shoving him, then Campbell would be calling it a career instead of sustaining a broken rib and clavicle. NHL players break bones all the time, always have, always will. That said, the suspension was warranted bc OV does have a history, so to speak, and he needed to be made an example of. The guy plays at full speed, every shift, every game. And that's why he'll be named MVP for the 3rd straight season gang. Think "intensity"... every coach in the NHL would LOVE to have him, and that's a fact.
Hockey is a rough game, or perhaps you've never seen Gordie "elbows" Howe play the game either... good grief people.

Ovechkin has been protected more than anyone. The NHL keeps hoping he will grow up or mature, but it is clear that is not going to happen anytime soon.

the international hit in the video is clean as a whistle and not cheap IMO. Everything else is just awful. I cringe every time at the Briere hit. Pretty sure if I was one of Briere's team mates I would have lost my job and ended up in jail.

OV is protected by getting to be a cheapshotting thug whenever he has wanted knowing they will not do anything to him. The late hits from behind and the knee on knee shots are not being a tough guy. They are big box plays at best. But the funny part his the most Cap fans are too enamored to realize he is a shitty leader and will continue to fall short come playoff time when his team needs him to do what it takes to win and not do what it takes for himself.
Besides I think Chery likes OV's toothless blowjobs a little better ....

Don't put the losses in the past two playoffs on Ovechkin... it's our shitty defense and goaltending. As for his leadership, some of us still think Brooks Laich should have been captain.

FINN, you will never see another knee-to-knee job by OV 1st of all. Second of all, he has more "clean" hits and crushing blows than any scorer since... well, I can't think of one frankly, but his "dirtier" blows get ALL the press, of course. All I will say is that the Caps bring home Lord Stanley's Cup either this year or next, perhaps both, and yes, under #8's leadership... and yes rushyyz, I too thought Laich would be better suited to wear the "C", but this is the NHL, and 3-time MVPs eventually get the Captain tag whether their English is good enuff or not.
To wit, if OV blew Don Cherry he would draw blood, he's only missing one chicklet after all...
