What was Ovechkin thinking?
Anyone see Ovechkin's hit on Briere? What was he thinking? Briere was in a totally vulnerable position and he had no chance to protect himself. Good thing Ovechkin didn't totally pound him into the boards.
He should be suspended for that.

Why was the hit so bad? Because the door opened? He hit him slighty from behind, not directly into the boards, with his shoulder, and he was 6 feet from the boards as well.
2 games max. It simply wasn't that dirty a play. In fact, hits like those happen almost every game.

Thanks - those are the kind of hits that have to be punished. Ovechkin's been playing long enough to know that Briere was going off the ice and was not part of the play. So to hit him from behind, near the boards is inexcusable.
Were he not a poster boy for the 'new' NHL, I would think that he would have been suspended - and rightly so.
Once again, the league shows their hypocracy.

So according to TSN there will probably be NO suspension and just a fine. What a joke. They should give him at least one game. Colin Campbell and the NHL is a joke. I hope there's no retribution in the next game between the Caps and the Sabres.
