Ovechkins hit was bad, pushing a player from behind when he's in the danger zone of 2ft away from the boards is just a dumb move on any player ,and Boudreau sticking up for cheap shots is just ridiculous, same with Randy Carlisle, I lost a lot of respect for Carlisle after his comments about the hit. Personally I'd like the NHL to be more like the QMJHL, those fuckers are handing out suspensions like they're candy for high hits, Campbell should take a hint form their commish on how to deter dirty shots.
On to other things, David Booth took another big shot last night, this one all his own doing, now I'm all for getting cheap shots out of the game, but this was not a cheap hit, it was the definition of a defenceman stepping up on a forward who has his head down, it should be used to teach kids how to step up on the man. I mean Booth needs to keep his bloody head up in this situation, jesus you'd think the kid neer played body contact before, as for the cut on his face, thank the vsior for that, another reason to not wear one, they come back to bite you every now and again, hate wearing visors.
