Bruins and Caps go up 3-1 as the Kings try to do the same!

The Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals both go up 3-1 while the Kings try to do the same. Alex Ovechkin had two goals and an assist while Semyon Varlamov's great play between the pipes continued nailing down the win. The Caps can close out the series at home on Friday night with a win. The Buffalo Sabres would open a 2-0 lead and take it into the final session but the Bruins fought back. Scoring goals at 2:40 and 6:07 of the final session to get the game even as an extra session was needed. Well the first OT session wasn't enough and the second one would come. Sabres would take a too many men penalty and the Bruins would soon make them pay. Miroslav Satan would walk in patiently put the puck on his back hand and slide it by Ryan Miller for the winner. The Bruins now go up 3-1 in series and look to close it out in Buffalo, not going to be an easy task. The King power play continues to be hot! As of this update the Kings added two more power play goals in this game adding up to a 2-1 lead. The game is currently in period two as of this update. The Kings power play is now 9-14 in the series. Just crazy!

Alex Ovechkin gets a two game suspension for Hit on Brian Campbell!

The man who not only dazzles when plays is a force on the ice that like's to take runs at opposing players.

The dangerous hit on the boards he left on Brian Campbell will make him watch his team play from the side lines for then next two games as Brian Campbell will miss the rest of the season.


A repeat offender in hit's like this Alex Ovechkin will receive the suspension with out pay, costing him a costly $232,645.40.


The hit slash shove close to the boards left Brian Campbell with a broken clavicle and broken ribs.

The refs handed Ovechkin a five minute major and a game misconduct for the incident.
This is Alex Ovechkin third Game Misconduct of the season.


Ovechkin plays with passion and an edge and is know for hit's like this but a hit that ended a players season should of been more stiffer than a two game suspension, especially being his third offense.


Capitals brass and Vice President George McPhee had no problem with how Ovechkin finished his hit and is upset with the suspension, unfortunately a player was injured on the play he said in a statement.


OK, the hit doesn't look that bad as the player fell off balanced and hit the boards awkwardly I think a three to five game suspension would of been more just and show the league is making a statement on repeat offenders.


Ovechkin will be missed but how deep is this team? After Ovechkin left this game the Chicago Black Hawks would open up a 3-0 lead, but the Capitals fought back to tie the game in regulation and then win it in overtime.


The Capitals are 6-2 without Ovechkin in the line up and have already clinched their division. A 3-5 game suspension would of fit the crime for the injuries occurred.
