Ovechkin On Style: ‘I’m Not Going To Change Anything’
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on December 3rd, 2009
It’s not exactly the kind of break that Alex Ovechkin was seeking. But his two-game suspension by the NHL at least gives the Capitals star forward a few extra days to heal from the knee injury he suffered Monday night at Carolina and the upper-body strain that cost him six games last month.
That’s about the only upside to his knee-on-knee hit on Carolina defenseman Tim Gleason on Monday — his second ejection in three games, which then led to his first suspension as an NHL player.
“It is what it is. Nothing I want to say about it,” a curt Ovechkin said about the suspension after practice on Wednesday. “I’m disappointed.”
Ovechkin can’t play again until next Monday at Tampa. He did participate in practice on Wednesday — albeit while wearing an orange “no-contact” jersey. But he still skated up and down the ice without any obvious struggle. When he changed out of his gear afterward he dropped a neoprene sleeve in front of his locker.
But any thought that Ovechkin is about to curtail his attacking style of play because of the Gleason hit — or the Patrick Kaleta boarding penalty and game misconduct he took last week against the Sabres — is unlikely.”
