Now anyone who has read The Show for any extended period knows I don't like it when ANY player gets hurt - ever. But I couldn't help but see a measure of poetic justice in the following incident involving none other than A-hOle™ himself. Here's the video of the deliberate knee-on-knee hit he put on the Carolina Hurricanes' Tim Gleason: Thankfully A-hOle™ himself took the worst of that hit...

Alex the Gr8 needs a sit down. The NHL is not keen on suspending it's stars; nor is the League (as has been mentioned here) keen on knee on knee shots. However, Colin Campbell, the NHL's disciplinarian, is now facing a quandary... he shouldn't be, but he is. Does Campbell send a message that no one is immune to being suspended for " reckless " play, and at the same time sit one of the League's...

It looks like Alexander Ovechkin is finally going to be suspended. In October, he got away with a slew-foot on Rich Peverley of the Atlanta Thrashers. The NHL treated him as a first time offender and let him off without a suspension because they had overlooked a handful of other transgressions in the past. He got away with a knee on knee hit on Sergei Gonchar in last year’s playoffs. There had...

Alex Ovechkin's knee-on-knee hit on Carolina's Tim Gleason last night sent both players to the dressing room and got the Caps' star winger ejected for the second time in five days. The NHL hasn't taken any disciplinary actions yet, but because this isn't the first time Ovechkin has avoided suspension for a dangerous hit -- he received a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct for his hit...

from Ken Campbell of The Hockey News, Although the NHL rulebook does not specifically stipulate a fine or suspension for kneeing, supplementary discipline can be applied at the discretion of the commissioner. And you’d have to think that’s exactly what will happen, given that Georges Laraque of the Montreal Canadiens recently received a five-game suspension for his knee-on-knee hit that...

Alex Ovechkin is not expected to receive an MRI on his injured right knee tonight, George McPhee said after the second period. The Caps GM added that Ovechkin is icing his knee at the moment and will be examined tomorrow when the Caps return to Washington by team doctor Ben Shaffer. McPhee dodged a question about the severity of the injury, saying he'll know more after Ovechkin is examined. "There's...

Alex Ovechkin has been given a five minute major and a game misconduct for a knee-on-knee hit on the Canes’ Tim Gleason. This is the second major penalty for Ovechkin in less than a week. On Wednesday, he was given a five minute major and game misconduct for boarding Patrick Kaleta of the Sabres. Ovechkin wasn’t suspended after the Kaleta incident, presumably because Kaleta wasn’t...

from Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly, A day later, Briere gets suspended two games for driving Hannan into the back boards. Yeah, like Briere drives people with the kind of authority of Chris Pronger. Briere’s hit was nowhere near as vicious as Jarret Stoll driving Dan Carcillo in the back of the neck, sending him into the boards with whiplash effect in Los Angeles last week. Did we mention no penalty...
