So....Ovie decided to hit Gleason in the Caps/Whalercanes game tonight.
It ended up being a knee-on-knee hit.
He didn't put any weight on it as he left the ice.
He got a five minute major and a game misconduct for it.
So.
He's potentially pretty injured now. And if the injury doesn't keep him out for a while, there seems to be talk that Campbell might suspend him (I mean.. it is his second game misconduct in a week).
All I can say is...
This is really shitty timing, Ovie. Like, really shitty.
Thank goodness I actually like the Caps as a team and I won't be too cut up about it if Ovie doesn't play when I'm there.
But still..... this is HORRIBLE timing, Ovie.... Guh.
.................
In other news, Keith Ballard is a moron. Remember when Surovy tried to kill our poor little Slovak goalie when he hit him upside the head at the Worlds last year? Well, Ballard did the same thing tonight to his own goalie.... Only.... it was a lot worse.... Like.... Vokoun is in the hospital.
You can see the hit here if you haven't seen it already.
Let's hope Vokoun is okay. That was a really brutal hit and it was 100% unnecessary and stupid.

Jaro has hard head.
What is it with Florida and their players trying to keeeeel one another? The room must be so awkward...
Ovie's a freight train. Eventually he'll be stopped... But this suspension week is rediculous. Players are being too stupid lately and it's gotta stop.
That was a crazy night of hockey apparently...
I hope Ovie is not hurt, but I kinda hope he'll get suspended (just until you're in washington, that is). He's been really reckless with his hits, and it was just a matter of time until something like that happened. I'm SO sorry it's happening now. But if he's not there next week, I'm sure you'll eventually get to see him in Montreal.
And Ballard... Wow. It already looked bad when it happened to Halak, but here it's just nuts.
Ballard's a big enough idiot that I'm not sure he can spell his own name.
I mean, after he ganked T-Vo like that, he apparently didn't even understand what was going on, because he finished breaking his stick on the goal post and then skated away like nothing happened.
Idiot.
I'm thinking "awkward" might be a bit of an understatement. I can't imagine being Ballard right now... I really hope he's feeling really bad about it.......
I'm kinda wishing now that Ovie was suspended for his hit on Kaleta. That way he wouldn't have played against us or the Whalercanes and that way he wouldn't have scored on Price or got himself hurt hitting Gleason... ARGH.... *goes off to sob in a corner* (and I really can't bring myself to watch the Caps play here. I almost thought about getting tickets for last week but then I'm like "nope.. can't do it...")
