The only question is can they be bad enough that Columbus will catch them. I'm not convinced they can, but they're going to make it interesting.

I love the vague rule
you can get a charging penalty for skating into another player. I understand the launching or jumping part but skating? what are they supposed to do...take off their skates and run at the guy?
anyways...I was surprised to see the suspension because I didn't think that hit was anything but routine. Sure he leaves his feet but there are many worse hits every game that don't even get a penalty let alone a suspension.

So Ovechkin isn't going to the All-Star game because he "doesn't feel comfortable attending as a suspended player." - What a baby.

That's not exactly accurate.
As far as I'm concerned, he's absolutely right.

Actually, per hockeycentral... that quote of OV's came directly from the Capitals so I'm inclined to buy it. I think he's just being a suck.

Clearly. 
Now, I wonder if the league will tack a game on to his suspension for skipping this. - They suspended Lidstrom one game for the same reason.

And that one came directly from the Capitals as well, and, I'm inclined to believe that one instead.

Real_ESPNLeBrun: RT @DarrenDreger: As we reported last night. The NHL is disappointed Ovechkin won't be in Ottawa, but won't discipline him for not going.
I'd say the league feels similarly to Ovechkin.

Well, someone's mis-reporting. Millard read that quote from somewhere.

They probably just don't want to throw gas on the fire.

I'm with you... He used to be one of my favourite players in the league. Now it's to the the point where I'm rooting against him.
