I'm not going to make it to Chicago in time for the morning skate, which I'm told will be very lightly attended anyway. I've received a few emails from concerned fans about the status of Alex Ovechkin's foot after his Quintin Laing impression in the first period of last night's 4-2 win in Nashville. Ovechkin took a direct hit - looked like on the tongue of his skate - from Greg deVries slap shot and...Please...

from Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch, A season can change in a blink of an eye, or in this case, a crash into a goaltender. A speeding bullet called Quintin Laing rammed defenseman Jan Hejda into Blue Jackets goalie Pascal Leclaire, whose neck hit the goal post the way a runaway car hits a tree.

I interviewed Quintin Laing about blocking shots for a weekly feature called "What it feels like..."
