Alex Ovechkin Gets A Two Game Suspension

With the latest harsh hit by a hockey player, it seems that the fans and players, new and old, are getting tired off all the injuries that have been happening lately in the NHL.

Washington Capitals star, Alex Ovechkin, is the latest guy to injure someone -- in this case it was Blackhawks defenceman, Brian Campbell -- and have people scream for a suspension. It appears that Campbell may be out for the rest of the season. But is a suspension really deserved? Watch it for yourself.



"I respect everybody," Alex Ovechkin said. "We respect everybody here in the locker room and outside, but over there [on the ice], we play for our team, and we make some hard hits, and sometimes, you get hurt. That's a hockey game."

Bob MacKenzie from TSN had this to say today on Twitter; "I will be surprised if Ovechkin is not suspended for a couple of games. Campbell's injury is the big factor now."

The Verdict?

The Washington Post is reporting a two-game suspension for Ovechkin.

Do you think that this is fair?
